It is also possible for the administrator to configure and differentiate the metrics parameters through a dedicated user interface.

The following further main improvements are also present:

• extension of the hardware catalog (models associated with asset cards);

• refactor of the sync connector with Zabbix, to collect and store information on faults and to start Incident Management processes;
• new connector with Microsoft SCCM, for the synchronization of workplaces data.

The version 3.3 of CMDBuild has been released.

The new version includes:

• the new features for the Document Managemen;
• possibility to insert in the menu, hierarchies of data cards with configurable filters;
• retrieve of the massive modification function of the data cards, and implementation of the new mass cancellation function;
• improvements in the user interface: page help in data cards and processes, possibility of presenting some groups of attributes closed by default, opening in full screen mode of the HTML editor for text-type attributes, sums in the Master Detail pages;
• extension of import/export templates and automatic task system to configure and automate the import of DWG floor plans and IFC BIM models;
• improvements in the CSV/Excel files import/export templates, with import in ADD mode, use of the current filter in the export, formatting of dates and numbers, TAB separator;
• new dashboard as the initial page of the Administration Module with indicators on the entities configured, the volume of data present, the growth trend, active services, etc.;
• retrieve of the task for the scheduled sending of emails with reports attached;

On 28 October 2020 will take place the 6^th edition of the CMDBuild DAY, a consolidated biennial event and appointment with all the users of the CMDBuild, CMDBuild READY2USE and openMAINT project. 

The maintainer Tecnoteca will present the updates on the products and the roadmap for the future developments.

Subscribe to participate.

You will listen to experts of Asset Management and talk with Tecnoteca's technicians.

Following a recent contact between Tecnoteca (CMDBuild maintainer) and the FactorFX (main OCS Inventory contributor), a collaboration relationship was born, which involves the rewriting of the current discovery connector included in CMDBuild READY2USE to support in the most complete and effective way the new version OCS Inventory 2.8 arriving in autumn 2020.

The connector is used in CMDBuild READY2USE mainly for the synchronization of information relating to client computers in use (workstations) and collected directly in the field.
