This part is important as you need to choose the how you would like to sync your assets data from Endpoint Central :
​
​Sync - Connect existing Dots assets with your MDM.
​What It Does:

# Matches existing assets in Dots to assets in your MDM by serial number

# Establishes a connection to view MDM data

# No changes are made to your assets

What It Means for You:

# No new assets are created
# No updates are made to your existing assets
​

Download Only- Import new assets from your MDM into Dots.

“New assets” refers to any asset found in the MDM whose serial number does not already exist in Dots. To prevent duplicates, we recommend that all previously uploaded assets in Dots include serial numbers.

What It Does:

# Pulls any new assets from your MDM that aren’t already in Dots

# Creates new asset records in Dots

What It Means for You:

# Your existing assets remain unchanged

# Any asset found in your MDM but missing in Dots will be added

# Use this to ensure all your MDM-managed devices appear in Dots
​
