CMDB table for tablets (e.g. iPad)

[gflewis]

What is the correct CMDB table for tablets (e.g. iPad)? Are they computers? Are they accessories? It seems like they should have their own table.

I'd create their own table. maybe a u_cmdb_ci_mobile that extends cmdb_ci, and you could extend *that* with tables specific to phones/tables as desired, or not.

I don't know why I've never been asked this before or why I didn't realize until now there isn't a mobile table OOB. Everything else under the sun already has their own table extended from cmdb_ci but there's no love for mobile devices.

CapaJC, pull some strings over at SN and get this in the Eureka release? 🙂

I've been eyeing cmdb_ci_comm for this pupose.   It has a Type field that includes 'Cellular Phone'.   And a Phone number field.   Seemed like a good fit for iPads.   You could add a new 'Type' of tablet.

We are using Communications Device class and in certain cases have extended that class to store tablet specific attributes.
