How to edit grayed out CI types

How to edit grayed out CI types

I am trying to create a structure similar to workstations, but with mobile devices.

I have tablets, phone, hotspots, and pagers. They are all cellular devices, but when I need to search for a phone number I have to go into each asset and search for the number.

There is possibly two answers for this:

Is there a way to make my custom fields searchable from the asset search box? 

How do I move my IT assets under/to a new parent CI? They are currently grayed out and will not let me change them. Also, I don't want to have to recreate all of these CI types, since the inventory is already populated.


Thank you in advance for any insight into this issue.
