The Expected Assets list is populated when the asset manager starts the audit by clicking the Scan button on the asset audit form1.

This list shows the assets that are expected to be found in the audit location based on the asset records in the CMDB1.

The asset manager can then use a barcode scanner or a mobile device to scan the actual assets in the location and compare them with the expected assets1.

The asset manager can also manually add or remove assets from the expected assets list if needed1. References:
