Adds an Usage Category to any object. In my case, that's Production/Dev/Test...
In our environment, we like to know in a glance if a resource is a production ressource, or a Dev resource, or a test device. Instead of creating another text field in my objects, I choose to create a new class, so :
-
The number of category is (normally) limited
-
It's also possible to do a search starting from the category (all production items, for example)
For example, for a Virtual Machine, you see that :
In case of Edition, you can only choose a predefined usage (or Create a new one) :
In the Usage View, you can see all items for the same Usage :
A this time, while this class is technically available for most if not all other classes, I only added it in the 'Server', 'Storage Devices' and 'Virtual Machine' screen. Don't hesitate to ask for more items, I think that every CIs should have this field (but time is always short...)
Hope this can be useful for other :)
And : "iTop Rocks" (never miss an occasion to tell that :-))
As for all my extensions, just download the zip file, and copy the 'schirrms-...' directory in your extensions directory, then rerun the setup as usual.
