I agree that it is much easier and less techincal debt to add Status Reasons that new Status. You will have to add it to one form called SYS:StatusReason Menu Items and probably on the AST:Attributes form as well. I am not sure if you have to add it to BMC.CORE:BMC_BaseElement through the

Due to all the joins, adding new values causes SQL errors when trying to open the Asset console afterwards. Customer has been advised to back off the idea of editing Status. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives

ITSM Asset Management - Status Values

2015-01-21 Thread Ray Gellenbeck
A client wants to add more Status values to the Asset record form (ITSM/ARS 8.1.01). I advised against the technical debt such a customization would carry, but worse, it appears that the Status field on the Asset form doesn't reference a menu, they are using the old Field ID7 with

Either way, it's one huge Matzoh ball. I would simply not go there. Of all the customizations people might want, the Status field is the one we should resist the most strongly. Rick Cook On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 12:07 PM, Janie Sprenger jrsrem...@gmail.com wrote: ** The form AST:Attributes

Yes, but that form is not related to editing the Status values, that's just another one of the sub-forms I mentioned. That form's Status field is also ID7 and is also direct-entry values. The question still remains if there is a function in ITSM for editing Asset Status similar to how you can

In that case, no - there isn't a configuration form for editing CMDB Status values that I have ever seen. On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 12:18 PM, Ray Gellenbeck ray.gellenb...@redmangollc.com wrote: Yes, but that form is not related to editing the Status values, that's just another one of the
