Orphaned assets
The orphaned assets tool shows you a report of all assets that currently do not have a parent link to anywhere in the system. This can sometimes happen by accident when API calls are made or triggers are run.
If there are any orphaned assets in the system, the screen will show you a list of all those assets together with the asset tag (the name will be linked to the asset’s Details screen), the number of child assets that asset has, and the last updated date and who updated it.
The tool also allows you to select either all of the assets, or specific ones, to link to a new location, such as the Trash.
