What is Asset and Configuration Management plugin 

The Asset and Configuration Management plugin is a powerful resource that empowers users to design and customize data tables effortlessly. By leveraging custom fields within Easy Redmine, users can tailor tables to efficiently organize and store essential information. This add-on also facilitates connecting tables to various elements within the system, such as projects, tasks, users, and other entities, enhancing overall functionality and giving users full control over their data management.

Let's give you a few examples to picture it more precisely.

Simplify with custom fields

Utilizing Easy Redmine custom fields is a crucial feature that enables the categorization of data based on specific focus fields or scenarios. 

For instance, consider a situation where a company aims to segment its data types according to various focus areas like human resources, warehouse management, finance management, asset management, and data management. With the ACM (Asset and Configuration management) add-on, this segmentation becomes achievable. 

By creating a custom field for each group, a more enhanced overall experience is delivered in terms of organizing, searching, and managing the data. Furthermore, the flexibility of custom fields allows for a more detailed breakdown of each field into smaller components using custom tables, ensuring precise tracking and reporting on specific assets or configurations.

Perhaps you could even design custom business cards to make your process even more seamless!

Streamline processes with custom tables

One vital feature of Asset and configuration management add-on is creating custom tables and extending their functionality by adding your data fields, allowing for highly customizable data management. Take a look at the example of this feature.

Let's say you want to keep track of your office computers. You can create a custom field for this purpose, allowing you to store all the critical information such as model name and number, year of purchase, serial numbers, etc. You can connect each computer to the Easy Redmine user, too. Or instead with its maintainer. This is especially useful regarding warranty expiration dates because you can alert specific users when their warranty is approaching its end, allowing them to take the necessary steps before it's too late. Do you already have ideas on how your business could benefit from this? Great!

IT assets in an ACM table

Show integrated data

For business owners or individuals tasked with data management, consolidating information in one location can bchallenging. The right tool can simplify this process by enabling precise data placement - Easy Redmine excels in this aspect by linking data directly to specific projects or tasks. This approach saves significant time and effort that would otherwise be spent recalling data locations. Let's delve into another example related to IT Asset Management (ITAM).

Picture a scenario where custom tables have been created containing essential details about the company's servers, applications, and software. Now, consider the need for software updates on a larger scale. To address this, we interconnect all elements. Easy Redmine facilitates this integration, allowing connections between applications, servers, and software, thereby streamlining asset organization. 

Moreover, managing updates is simplified by linking data to tasks with a tracker change, enabling technicians to handle routine updates efficiently. This structured approach ensures timely updates and automates manual processes, enhancing project efficiency and reducing the risk of errors. 

Additionally, the table clearly delineates responsibilities for providing application support, underscoring the significance of linking data to tasks.

Asset anagement with a unified dashboard

Having all your assets in one centralized location makes tracking and auditing them simpler. With predefined filters or the option to customize your own, you can control which data is displayed and how it appears.

Here is an example based on IT needs. Imagine a customizable page where users can see a dashboard containing all of the data and information they need for their day-to-day work—from lists of computers in use and bar charts of computers by brand to pie charts tracking monitors by panel type. All of this is possible in Easy Redmine. With this efficient method for tracking and viewing assets, you can quickly get a clear view of everything related to those assets wherever you need it in one place!

Secure access with permission assignment

One of the key features of Easy Redmine is the secure assignment of permission levels. This integrated feature empowers managers to allocate distinct roles with customized visibility and editing privileges. 

For instance, a junior employee may be limited to viewing resources, while a Senior Architect could have the authority to create, modify, and delete resources. This structured approach ensures that individuals have access to relevant information at the right times, enhancing the efficiency and security of your IT processes.
