How do i populate "Chassis Type" as a field ?

How can we populate "Chassis Type" as a field in a column from table Asset [alm] ?

Hi Ashish

Can you please provide more details on what you are trying to achieve?

Is it a custom field or already present on asset table.

Thanks

Hi Gaurav, it's not a custom field and present in the asset table but it's not visible as a column against the asset tag or configuration item. I want to add this field as a column in the asset table, so that I should be able to see whether the asset is a desktop/notebook or other things.

Chassis type is populated by the Discovery tool in our instance.

Hello,

So you want to show the column "chassis_type" on the context of the alm_asset form. Is that correct?

The field "chassis_type" is in table cmdb_ci_computer, which is extended from cmdb_ci.

So what you could do is dot-walk to "chassis-type" by using the field alm_asset.ci - the reference to the CI table.

The only problem I see is that the chassis_type is only availabe for the cmdb_ci_computer class and all extended classes.

Try it out. Maybe this helps

Best,
