Adding entries into the History section

Hello all,
For a customer we've just moved their asset management system to Cireson.
We are now looking on how we might get the historical data of an asset (which user used this asset from when to when) registered in the History tab.
Does anybody know if it is possible to do this via powershell or any other method?
Thanks!

Hi Filip,
Was the original Asset Management System also an extension of SCSM and the original asset history kept on the History tab? If so, that may be possible using PowerShell but I am not sure I would do it as the history timestamps wouldn't line up with the Created on timestamp of the Asset and that could cause issues. If it was some other type of AMS entirely, trying to line that up would probably be more trouble than it is worth. Either way, I'd think about doing a custom multi-entry extension for the class(es) and populate the history there. That way you can still report using Joins but there is less risk especially if you are using the Data Warehouse (which is already touchy).5 -

Hi Billy,
It was an entirely different AMS.
We'll have to go with extensions then.
Thx for your reply
Kind regards,
Filip
