You can also use Location, Stockroom, and Model category lists to filter your results.Figure 1. Hardware asset overview {#hardware-asset-overview__table_lwj_zb4_nrb__entry__2} | Widget or chart | Description | |-|-| | Model normalization | Percentage of hardware and consumable models that are normalized. | | Asset requests | Number of requested items where the item's model is hardware, consumable, or bundle. | | Transfer orders | Number of active transfer orders. | | Stock orders | Number of requested hardware inventory stock order items. | | Asset reservations | Number of active loaner asset orders. | | RMA orders | Number of open RMA orders. | | Refresh requests | Number of open hardware assets refresh order requests. | | Disposal orders | Number of open hardware disposal orders. | [Table 1. Quick links] {#hardware-asset-overview__table_lwj_zb4_nrb} {#hardware-asset-overview__table_yvy_bc4_nrb__entry__2} | Widget or chart | Description | |-|-| | Asset count by model category | Number of assets grouped by the model category such as Consumable, Computer, and Mobile Device. | | Asset count by lifecycle state | Number of assets grouped by the lifecycle state such as Retired, In use, and In stock. | | Asset value by model category | Cost of assets grouped by the model category such as Software License, Consumable, and Server. | [Table 2. 360 asset view] {#hardware-asset-overview__table_yvy_bc4_nrb} {#hardware-asset-overview__table_x32_kc4_nrb__entry__2} | Widget or chart | Description | |-|-| | Model lifecycle overview | Overview of model lifecycle grouped by the lifecycle phase such as End of support, End of Life, General Availability, and End of Sale. | | Discovered and undiscovered asset count | Comparison of the number of discovered and undiscovered assets grouped by model category. Undiscovered assets are the assets that are not discovered at all or not discovered within one month. | | Assets eligible for refresh by model category | Number of assets that have already expired or the current day is the expiry date, and are eligible for a refresh. | [Table 3. Overall performance] {#hardware-asset-overview__table_x32_kc4_nrb} ## Load reports on Hardware asset overview {#hardware-asset-overview__section_vjc_kyy_szb} You can load charts or widgets that fetch a huge set of asset records on demand instead of loading them along with the page. This approach enables you to reduce the loading time for the Hardware asset overview page. The system property sn_itam_workspace.asset_overview_enable_lazy_loading provides you with an option to either selectively load reports you want to view or load reports concurrently with the page. By default, this system property is set to False. When this system property is enabled on your ServiceNow instance, you can view reports by using the Load report option. Figure 2.
