Extending the Location Class - or using Object Status list?
Hi All,
I'm in the process of importing all of our location information from our old Asset Management system. We have a lot of old locations which are kept for historical asset purposes, but I don't want them to appear on the list of available locations for new assets as this would make the list long and cumbersome.
I was looking to extend the Cireson Asset management Locations class to include a Bool "In Use?" field, however I see there is an enum in the class already called Object Status (System.ConfigItem.ObjectStatusEnum) that I'm hoping to use to filter the locations. This seems much simpler than messing with the Cireson Management Pack.
However, I can't seem to see how to add items to this list?
I'm still pretty new to SCSM and Cireson, hoping someone could point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

I think the class extension for locations will be the better option. Then, you could create a view of locations base on your 'In Use' criteria.
