Asset Connection to Lansweeper needs a Custom field to Custom field attribute mapping.

Hi,

I've just upgraded to version 12 of WHD and other than getting adjusted to the orange icons, everything is going well.

I was very impressed to discover the Asset Discovery Connection to Lansweeper, which we also have and use as our asset controller.

After getting the WHD to connect to Lansweepers SQL, I started looking at the Attribute Mappings.

After a lot of fiddling around, I think I have got the best setup running, but I could really do with a configurable Custom field in WHD, that can be connected to a Custom field in Lansweeper.

We have a manual Asset labelling system which is our recorded Asset number.

Due to the way Lansweeper discovers devices and records it's own Unique ID, we are entering our Asset ID into a Custom Field.

Having the option to attach that Custom field to either WHD's Asset ID or a Custom field would make searching Assets an awful lot easier.

Can this be done to the next version?

Cheers,

Barry.

  • This already works as you described, and I have mine set up that way. Create a custom field in the Assets section of setup. Then go to Discovery Connections, click Lansweeper, and your custom field will appear at the bottom with a drop-down of Lansweeper attributes. Select one of the Custom1-Custom20 attributes. You will need to check in Lansweeper to see which custom attribute number you use for the Asset Number.

  • Excellent!

    I had just missed the Asset Custom Fields in WHD! D'oh!

    Cheers for pointing that out. I will try it out now.

    Cheers,

    Barry.
