[Obm] OBM and asset management

[Jasper van der Marel]

Hi Pierre,

It is indeed what you call "gestion de parc" but in a slimmed down
version we use here. We are managing servers for our customers and would
like to have a module (called "servers" or "assets") where we can put
some information regarding those servers. The module can than be linked
to the "companies" module. Maybe we write it ourselves, but if you have
some ideas regarding this module....

We also have some other wishes/ideas regarding obm :

- We would like to have the calendar linked to the timemanagement
module. An appointment can be linked to a task but the hours booked will
not show in the timemanagement module. Is this possible to implement ?
I mean, the task is known and the hours booked so theoratically this
could be implemented.

- The same goes for the incidents. If an incident could also be linked
to a task (and to a contract) I could book hours on this task. Could
this be implemented ?

With kind regards,

Jasper van der Marel
