Is my understanding of the cmdb_model and how this relates to alm_asset records, correct?

[SB87]

I'm aware the alm_asset table has a reference to the cmdb_model table.

I've assumed that the cmdb_model table is a store where models of a particular asset or CI can be defined, for example HP Laptop ABC with 32GB ram, 2TB SSD.

Then, alm_asset records of this type can be linked to the model, for example:

• alm_asset record 1 - Dell laptop
• alm_asset record 2 - HP Laptop -- Where this one
• alm_asset record 3 - HP Laptop -- And this one are both refer to the HP model defined above 
• alm_asset record 4 - HP Laptop
• alm_asset record 5 - Lenovo Laptop

Is my understanding correct?

Hi @SB87 ,

yes you are right, one product model have multiple assets. In order to understand that let me give you real world examples. While creating of asset it will ask to select the model it means that you are telling to the system that this asset belongs to a specific model where model details will be present on model table.

there would be many car with same model.
