Collections#
A collection is a thematic grouping of classes. Collections give the Finder its high-level structure, when Show empty classes is on, the class list is grouped by collection so it is easier to find the class you need.
Out of the box i-doit up ships with collections for Hardware, Network devices, Software, People & organizations, Locations, Networking, and similar.
Where collections appear#
- In the class list sidebar of the Finder, classes are grouped by their collection.
- The Settings ▸ CMDB Configuration ▸ Collections page is the admin surface, see Manage classes and collections.
Working with collections#
- A class can belong to more than one collection. Adding or removing the assignment is an admin action.
- Deleting a collection only removes the grouping, the classes themselves stay in place.
