How to Register as Consumer for an Asset
Use the following procedure to register as consumer for an asset
To register users to consume an asset
1. In CentraSite Business UI, display the details page for the asset you want to consume. If you need procedures for this step, see Viewing an Asset. 2. In the action bar for the asset, click Consume 
. This opens the Consume Asset dialog. 3. In the Application textbox, type the keyword(s) to search for. CentraSite applies the filter to the application asset's name. Choose an application asset from the selection list.
4. If you want to specify additional application assets, use the plus button beside the Application field to create a new Application input field, and choose another application asset.
5. When you have specified all required applications, click Consume. Requests to register the applications are sent to the owner(s) of the assets.
6. The owner of each asset can either accept or decline a register as consumer request as follows:
Go to the asset details page.
You will see the pending consumer registration requests (
) for an asset in the description area of the
Basic Information profile, for example, "
N consumer registration requests are pending”.
If there are no pending consumer registration requests for the asset, this is displayed as “0".
Click the hyperlinked number (“
N”) to open the
Pending Consumer Registration Requests dialog. This dialog contains a list of all consumer registration requests that have been submitted for the particular asset, including requests that were auto-approved.
Choose the consumer registration request that you want to review and approve by clicking its hyperlinked name.
The details for the request will appear in the Consumer Registration Request dialog.
In the
Comment text box, type a comment. (e.g.,
"Request rejected. Add required specifications to this asset and resubmit".)
Click the
Accept or
Reject button as appropriate to approve or reject the request.
After the applications are approved to consume an asset, CentraSite automatically changes the consumer count in the asset's Basic Information profile.
