Fields not available in AssetsComputers

Question

Hi, 
 The Computer section, under Assets has several in built fields like IP Address, MAC Address etc. None of these fields are available while importing the csv file. The csv file from SolarWinds Documentation is very restricted and does not allow other in-built fields to be mapped. 
 If an import option is given, the in-built fields should be available for data to be mapped/imported to.

 The Computer section is intended to be for Discovered Assets, which means those types of data points will be dynamically managed by the Asset Discovery. 
 
 With the Import function, you can upload some unique information like the Serial Number which will allow the Discovery to update and manage the record you "manually" created via Import. 
 
 If you have no intentions of Discovering assets, I would recommend using the Other Assets section so that you have more control over the Custom Fields you wish to target. It will help remove a lot of blank space on the Computer records, which have loads of fields that can only be managed by the Discovery options. 
 
 If you would like to request this as a feature, you're always welcome to post on the Feature Requests forum. I hope this helps! https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/solarwinds-service-desk-swsd/i/feature-requests
