Various Asset/Resource/Workstation issues noted in SDP 7009
To AdventNet: Please advise as to status of remediation on all of these items.
To SDP users: Please note these items before attempting a production upgrade of SDP 6 to SDP 7.
1.) The terms asset and resource are used inconsistently. The additional fields function on the Admin tab uses the term Assets. The Asset tab in the system refers to the same records as Resources. There are many locations where either term is used to mean the same thing. Please make the system consistent in its use of terminology.
2.) The additional fields defined against the asset/resource records will not display correctly for a record that had a type of desktop or laptop that was imported from SDP 6. The data is still present in the system, but is unavailable in most of the user interface.
3.) The GUI report builder functions do not allow you to access the additional fields you have defined in the admin tab for asset/resource records.
4.) The query data model does not list the names of the tables where the user defined fields are stored for any type of record. This is not limited to assets/resources/workstations.
5.) The Warranty Expiry field for the Resource table is not accessible through the user interface. You must use a query to pull this from the database. It should be available, or the data should be migrated to an available field. The current migration procedure from 6 to 7 causes this field to effectively become invisible.
