Categories and attributes#
i-doit comes with over 200 predefined categories. This results in over 1000 attributes that can theoretically be documented per object. This abundance inevitably leads to the frequently asked question: "What is category XY with all its attributes intended for?" In other words, what concepts are behind each individual category and each individual attribute.
Flexibility vs. specifications
Using the following tables, we attempt to provide a general overview. "Attempt" due to the sheer volume of predefined categories and attributes. For many categories and attributes, there is no strict specification. Therefore, the following descriptions serve merely as recommendations. We would be very happy to receive additions and corrections about how the following categories and attributes are used in practice. An email to feedback@i-doit.com is sufficient.
Global categories#
| Category | Attribute | Description |

All Tickets  | - | Service Desk: When the service desk interface is activated, all referenced tickets for this object can be displayed via this category. |
| General | ID | Each object receives a unique identifier (ID) from the underlying DBMS MySQL/MariaDB. |
| General | Name | Each object must receive a name. This can even be unique per tenant or per object type. Synonyms are Designation and Object title. |
| General | Condition | The Condition (often also called Status) maps the life cycle of the documentation. |
| General | CMDB status | The CMDB status shows in which stage of the life cycle an object is, for example In operation. |
| General | Purpose | If the component has a specific purpose, it can be documented here. A good alternative is the Tags attribute. |
| General | Category | This attribute should not be confused with the categories in i-doit. It is not frequently used and can be replaced by the Tags attribute. |
| General | SYSID | In addition to the Object ID, the SYSID is also suitable for unique referencing. Furthermore, it can be edited by the user, while the Object ID is permanently assigned. |
| General | Tags | Each object can be tagged with any number of keywords. This is practical for assigning specific roles or a purpose to an object. |
