Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Excellent video, I have learned a lot from you and I thank you for it. I have a query, let's say I have an Object "Laptop" and attribute "Owner; Location", in another schema I have an object "Employee" with attribute "Location and Computer", I would like that when assigning an owner to a computer the computer obtains the same location as the owner or at least a filter that only shows me the same location as the owner. Can be done?
@jimiwikmanofficialАй бұрын
Currently, yes, and no. In DC there is an Assets specific automation, but they don't have that in Cloud. That means that you must have this done in a ticket workflow, for example when someone is requesting a new laptop, or during an onboarding workflow. In theory, as I have not tested this yet, you can get the location from the Employee object and then use an automation to add that information to the laptop either manually or when a transition happens. So the steps would be to first do an Assets lookup into the Employee object and find the location attribute, Then create a variable from that using the {{lookupObjects.someAttribute}} and finally update the Laptop object and add the variable to the laptop location attribute. I have not tested it, but based on logic that should work :)

Hi! Thanks for all the info so far! I want to check if there's any way I can see a total count of how many objects a certain object is linked to? For example, in my use case I've created Laptops and Mouse as 2 different types of hardware assets. As Laptops are the objects with identifiers, I would like to link certain laptops to the same mouse asset and then count the number of linkages to determine how many users have a mouse. Let me know if this is the recommended approach as my organization would like to only track the number of mice instead of the individual mouse assets themselves. I currently can only see the linkages to the mouse as a single node in the Jira Object graph as the message was "The number of objects of this type were too many to be represented individually in the graph and have therefore been grouped together in a single node."
@jimiwikmanofficialАй бұрын
Hi Chloe, unfortunately, there are some hard restrictions in Assets that will cause this effect that you experienced. I would go a different route and instead connect both laptop and mouse to the users they are assigned to. Then you can filter on inbound or outbound links and get the number of users that have been assigned a mouse (or laptop). This will also allow you to see from both the mouse and the user what belongs to whom with the correct overview. I hope that helps?

@jimiwikmanofficial2 ай бұрын
You will need to do that with an AQL query to what you want to use. For example, I am using Company Email domain to set a customer object in one automation and the AQL for that looks like this: objecttype = "Accounts" AND "Company Email Domain" = {{reporter.emailAddress.split("@").last}} So I connect the account where the company email domain attribute matches the domain of the reporter's email address (I split out the email in this version to just get the domain). So if you want to reference the price in a field, you would use the same type of AQL: objecttype = "asset object" AND "Price" = "price value"

You have three actions related to Assets in your automation: Create object, Edit object and Lookup objects. So you can create new objects using automations and you can update existing ones as well.

Depending on what you want to do, you can use an automation for that. I have for example a custom field for Assets Users that I connect all tickets and configuration requests to so I have a record of what users have asked for and the only thing I do is to use the Edit Issue automation and connect the reporters email to the email fields I have in assets. I do this by mapping like this: "Email Address" = "{{reporter.emailAddress}}" So the "Email Address" is the attribute in Assets, and then I fetch the email of the reporter with {{reporter.emailAddress}} so I can set the value in assets.

Hey. I appreciate this video a lot, but I'm still having problems. I've set up my import and attribute mappings, and can successfully import into a schema. Problem is, when I try to change something about the csv, add it, and import again to update some of my new objects, it instead creates new objects out of every entry in the CSV! I'm using Key + Name as identifiers when importing, with Name as the label attribute. Do you have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
@jimiwikmanofficial2 ай бұрын
If you are matching the Key, then they should update properly, but there have been several bugs related to this, so one of those might still be around. Key is something that we can't really do much about, but try to set Name as unique if you do not have several items with the same name? Do that by configuring the attribute and check the Unique box. Let me know if that works for you, otherwise I'll see if I can replicate your problem and find another solution.

This can kind of be done using cascading fields. That means that one Assets field can show content based on what has been selected in another field. You can also have a User object scheme in Assets that is automatically set based on report and then from there you can click to show the object in the ticket, and you can see all connection to that. I will see if I can show this in future videos. Great question as well that inspires me to make more videos!

@@jerrodvan24 I really struggled with this too. Hopefully this will work for you. Hope the generic syntax makes sense. For the attribute that you are trying to set with the import that maps to an Object, use this AQL: objectType = "<object>" and "<object key>" = ${<csv column>} This will locate the object and filter it to match the key field to the value you have in the import file. I think this same syntax will work to filter an object by a previous set attribute as well, but that gave me some trouble when running the import. I think the earlier comments might work but you would need to substitute "Label" or "Name" with the name of the key value you set in the object.

You would need to have a customer object and connect the asset to that instead. Then you would need to recognize the reporter and connect them to the customer object. If your customers all exist within a single domain, then you can use the email to match against the customer object. I have a setup for Privacy that use this by splitting out the domain name from the email and matching it in an automation using "Company Email Domain" = {{reporter.emailAddress.split("@").last}}. In many cases customers have multiple organizations with one company though, so then it would be a bit trickier. It is a great question and I will see if I can solve it and show how it can be done. It might be as easy as just using the organization object in an automation....

Hello Jimi, Thank you for your very thorough, and very well presented overview of Assets. I just started using Assets for my work and I am curious if you may have any information on using Assets for asset inventory purposes. We have many attributes associated with an object and in particular we have one for "Last Inventoried". This is something we use for audit/compliance purposes. I've created filters to identify assets/objects that have not been inventoried since a certain time period, and I would like to know if there are any tools, or if there is a way for me to update assets/objects that have not been inventoried by using a hand held scanner? We apply bar-coded asset tags to many of our assets. When I identify a group of assets/objects located in a specific location that have not been inventoried, I would like to be able to go to the location with a hand-held scanner to scan the asset tag on each asset in that location, so that it updates the asset's attribute accordingly. Do you have any ideas or suggestions as to how this can be accomplished? I'm not sure if this would entail use of a 3rd party app to scan the barcodes and then just import the .csv file into Assets. I appreciate any feedback or information you may share. Thank you, Dean
