Classes#
A class is the type of an object, Server, Person, Network, Building, Switch, and so on. Every object in i-doit up belongs to exactly one class, and the class controls which categories the object exposes and which attributes those categories can hold.
Where classes appear#
- The class list sidebar on the Finder lists every class plus its object count.
- The All classes dropdown above the search bar offers the same list with keyboard navigation.
- On every object details page the class is shown under the object name in the header, with the class icon next to it.
- Settings ▸ CMDB Configuration ▸ Classes is the admin surface for creating, editing, and deleting classes, see Manage classes and collections and Create custom classes.
Classes and collections#
Each class can be assigned to one or more collections, which group classes thematically (for example Network devices or Software).
Favoring a class#
Click into a class in the Finder and use the ★ star next to the class name in the header to mark it as a favorite, see Favorites.
