Hi Guys,
I'm thinking about implementing iTOP for our company.
We have many locations with a lot of devices.
How do you manage to label your devices?
Do you use barcodes with unique IDs or sth. like that?
Ho do you create a unique relation between the hardware device and the entry in the iTOP database?
Previously I worked with an OTRS CMDB and there was an unique ID that we printed on a label and put it on a device.
Thanks for your support
Jonas

thank you, found it.
That's a great starting point.
Do you have any idea, how to display this id in the iTOP Device and List-View?
And also how to search for this id? I actually can't search for an ID...
Thank you
Jonas

Hello,
In the default iTop GUI id can't be displayed in lists, but can be used for search ("ref" field).
To build a module you can use the module generator to create the root structure.
You can change elements available in lists and in details presentation by enriching the default model. See the model reference (classes/class/presentation node)

Hi Jonas,
All CIs are under the abstract class FunctionalCI, so yes all CIs have a unique ID.
example of FunctionalCI
Natively, there is no feature to generate barcodes, but maybe somone in the community have made something. It would be a nice extension :)
