Ben,

        Thank you for your reply.   Asset Management submitted an enhancement to us that they wanted laptops and desktop models categorized as Laptop and Desktop rather than Computer in the Hardware Assets > Model Category field.   However, they (nor I) knew what happened behind the scenes that causes the model category to be set as Computer.   I believe all they really want is a way to look in Hardware Assets and easily see & filter off of Laptops or Desktops without having to filter on all the models which could be extensive.

        From your statement, it sounds like I need to leave the model category of Computer working as it is.   I am not really sure what the best method of getting Asset Management an easy Laptop/Desktop view is though.

        I created the Laptop CI Class because I found the Wiki and thought that was what I needed...  

Thank you for your help,

Shane
