The alternative, or in addition to, is to relate the computer system CIs (or any other CIs) to the Physical Location CI. There is a relationship type called Element Location

However, the Location app config form does not have them. So if you want to add all that data for each CI, you could do that there. In addition, those fields are in the Base Element class, so you could add the attributes to other classes that were necessary. It appears that BMC is trying to push more core data to the CMDB, which makes sense. As to a Location menu, I don't see anything that references Floor or Room there, or another source form for that data.

We are currently using ITSM 7.0,3, but will be upgrading to a later version sometime this year. We don't have ITSM 7.6 installed anywhere. In the 7.6 concepts guide, there is a note that "With version 7.5, the following structures were moved from BMC Remedy ITSM to BMC Atrium Core: Company (tenancy definition and external company definition), Location, and Categorization (product categorization)". I'm guessing that means that 7.6 will make use of the PhysicalLocation class to store sites, although the screen shots in the 7.6 config guide look like the same old Site screens as in 7.0.3. As part of Asset Management, there is also an InventoryStorage class for inventory locations. So, keeping in mind future versions, which class would be best to use (PhysicalLocation, InventoryStorage, something else?) to store floor/room information?
