Integration with the Inventory Module

From an incident card, you can create references to asset cards in Inventory. To enable this functionality, you must activate integration with the Inventory module. The connection settings between incidents and Inventory cards can be configured as either global or local.

Functional Overview

Within the Create Incident active action executed from the Job Scheduler, you can configure parameters for Inventory integration. This configuration includes:

  • The asset type to which the created incident will be linked

The system automatically links incidents to those Assets where the value of the base field from the specified set matches the corresponding field in the asset card.
