How to modify field name in itop data model? I am not asking for adding a field, but for changing the field in itop template. The reason is that all the field names and types in ITOP template are not able to mapping to our data model.
Thanks, Roland

As of now, all the documentation is in the iTop wiki.
There is no documentation on how to develop you own extensions. Anyhow, you will find some examples here: wiki.
We have no plan for writing a documentation, but we have plans to propose more sample modules and even open an iTop forge -no date for this.
Roland, have a look at TeemIP. As far as I remember, an old version had a custom attribute 'AttributePercentage' integrated into iTop since. To implement your own type of attribute, you have to extend the class AttributeDefinition. Be careful: not everything is feasible AND the API is subject to change in further releases. Anyhow, unless your fields are really specific, it might be interesting to open a ticket to request the enhancement into the core of iTop.

Romain

Hi Romain,
Thank you very much for your comments. Can you please explain more about the "extend the class AttributeDefinition"? how to do it or where I can find some examples?
I had a look at TeemIP, but it seems not what I want. what I want is to customise the itop data model (fields name and types) to fit my organisation's data model.
Thanks,roland

Is there any developer Manual?
