Basics#

i-doit is installed and the first login is coming up? Here you will learn the basics -- from the user interface to objects and lists, all the way to the complete reference of all object types and categories.

First steps#

Start here if you are working with i-doit for the first time:

• Initial login -- Your first login and the most important settings
• The i-doit interface -- Navigation, menus and work areas
• Dashboard and widgets -- Set up your personal start page
• Structure of IT documentation -- How i-doit organizes information

Objects and lists#

Everything in i-doit is an object -- servers, switches, persons, contracts. Here you will learn how to work with objects:

• Object list -- Find, filter and edit objects
• Object relationships -- How objects are linked to each other
• Life and documentation cycle -- From planning to disposal
• Unique references -- IDs, SYSIDs and inventory numbers
• Logbook -- Who changed what and when?

Object types#

Object types determine what an object is -- server, client, room, person. i-doit comes with over 70 predefined object types, and you can add your own.

• Object type reference -- All standard object types in detail
• Object type configuration -- Customize and configure object types
• Custom object types -- Create your own object types
• Assigning categories to object types -- Which categories belong to which object type?

Categories and attributes#

Categories contain the actual data of an object -- IP addresses, model, location, contacts. i-doit has over 120 predefined categories.

• Category reference -- All categories in detail with API examples
• Categories and attributes (overview) -- Compact overview of all fields
• Attribute fields -- Field types and their meaning
• Dialog-Admin -- Manage and extend selection lists
• Custom categories -- Create your own categories
• Custom counters -- Automatic numbering
