Targets are all devices for which an asset discovery is to be executed by the scanner. As the BMC Client Management - Inventory can scan not only devices which have a CM agent installed but also those without, using device groups for target scanning would have been incomplete and the concept of targets or target lists was used instead.

Target list folders are created as organizational containers for the different target lists. They can contain any number of target lists for the execution of asset discovery scans of your system.
