[Feature Request]: Labels for different types of assets

Open Emanuelesmith opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Asset labels are generic across all device types, for an example an asset tag for a laptop and server currently have the exact same information on them.

Describe the solution you'd like

If we could designate separate asset labels to each asset type or model that would allow you to add tailored information for each asset type. An example for this is a server label could include an IP address which would not be important for a laptop and vice versa.

Describe alternatives you've considered

My solution for this is to create a custom fieldset (i.e. a "Server" fieldset) with custom fields for any server specific information, like an IP address or multiple MAC addresses. Then I assign the fieldset to the model of the server so the IP address field will be available. It is searchable too

Having different preset labels for assets would also allow users to have smaller labels for devices that do not have enough space for larger labels.

For example a wireless speaker or a phone that doesn't have room for all the details of a regular label could just have a smaller label that has less information such as only the QR code and small amount of text.
