Add custom column in CMDB overview

Post by damjanlepceski »

Hey everybody,
as this is my first post it's obvious I'm fairly new to OTRS :).
Anyway, I'm testing OTRS for my company and I have plenty of questions, but I'll start with just one.
When I select CMDB -> Overview, there are only 5 columns (State, #ConfigItem, Deployment State, Deployment State Type and Last Changed) and those columns apply for every ConfigItem Class (i.e. Computer, Hardware, Network etc.).
Then, when I go to "ITSM Configuration Management -> Frontend::Agent::ViewConfigItem" I see that I can activate more predefined columns (Class, CurInciState, CurInciStateType and Name).
So my question is, can I add custom column and if I add same custom mandatory field in every ConfigItem Class (Computer, Hardware etc.), how can I configure "Frontend::Agent::ViewConfigItem" to show the custom column containing the information from the new field ? If that's not possible any other solution would be welcome (code editing included :) ).
The same question applies when ticket linking to ConfigItem from CMDB (can I add custom column in the LinkObject pop-up when any of the ConfigItems is selected as Target Object).
Hope my question is clear and any help would be much much appreciated.
Best,
Damjan

AFAIK this is not configurable. If you can write code you can try to ask your question in the developer forum, but at the moment there are only few users who can answer ITSM questions. Your best option would be to look at the ideas at http://otrsteam.ideascale.com/ and discuss your idea there. I guess that similiar ideas there already exist so you could join an existing discussion.

But I'm sorry, that are all no short time solutions, if you need the solution right now I think you have to ask for commercial help since the ITSM extensions seem to need more time to modify, so single volunteers usally can't answer this in their free time. Later when the community has grown further and has a better infrastructure one could also open projects to develop extensions together with other users, but again this won't help you right now :(
