Inventory spreadsheet templates updated
IT Asset Management version 2018 R2
IT Asset Management provides standard templates for the import of inventory data through
an inventory beacon. At each product release where the internal data model used in
IT Asset Management is updated, these templates are also updated to keep them aligned
with the underlying databases. Therefore it is always best practice to use the latest
templates when editing or creating a spreadsheet for inventory import. In particular, release
2018 R2 includes a changed template for Computer imports, which means that if you have any
scheduled imports of this inventory spreadsheet, you must update these to use the latest
template.
Tip: It is not necessary to populate the new columns with data,
since at this release all the added columns are for optional data. However, your
spreadsheets must, as always, use exactly the columns, in the given order, and with the
column names that are supplied in the templates.
New columns (which are all related
to cloud service providers) to consider in the updated Computer template are:- InstanceCloudID
- CloudServiceProvider
- InstanceAffinity
- ImageID
- LaunchTime
- NetworkID
- LifecycleMode
- Account
- ThreadsPerCore
- InstanceType
- Region
- AvailabilityZone
- InstanceTenancy.
