Creating a server record in CMDB by PowerShell script

Watch how to update CMDB from a Powershell script on an example of creating a server record in CMDB. It is a scenario where the server is installed first and we have to create its record in CMDB.

How to quickly create smart forms in ObjectGears

You can work in ObjectGears with ready-made applications containing forms for data entry and display. However, you can also create your custom forms starting with simple ones and going to more complex with controls divided in groups with separators, on more tabs with tooltips for users etc. Layouts define into how many columns the controls should be split. Dynamic layout adapts the column position according to how we hide columns on the fly by script. In the form design we can see, into which parts we can insert particular types of elements.

You can come across dates and deadlines in many places – deadlines of tasks or requests, contract, training, probation or certificate validity, validity of licenses or hardware maintenance etc. If we do not meet the deadlines we are decreasing service levels, losing business or undergoing significant risks. You can work in ObjectGears with ready-made applications or you can create your custom applications. In both cases it is great to ensure that the system watches the deadlines and sends email or SMS notifications for an upcoming deadline or escalation in case the deadline is not met, assigns tasks for upcoming deadline or perform another actions.
