Are you putting a new switch into operation and want to take over all existing connections? With the Add-on Replacement you swap objects and configure which connections and category data are transferred.

Download and installation#

This add-on can be installed afterward. Detailed descriptions regarding download, installation, updates, etc. can be found in the article i-doit Add-ons.

Configuration#

Under Administration → Add-ons → Device Swap → Configuration you define default values to standardize and speed up frequent swap processes.

Assigning rights#

Under Administration → Permissions → Device Swap can permissions for persons and person groups be adjusted.

Prerequisites#

Before two objects can be swapped with each other, the following prerequisites must be met:

• Both objects have the same object type.
• An object cannot be swapped with itself.

Swapping objects#

There are three ways to swap one object for another:

1. Within an object list select both objects and in the action bar click the Swap button.
2. Within an object, click the Swap button in the action bar and then select the replacement device under Stored object
3. Under Add-ons → Device Swap select the two objects under Object to be swapped and Stored object

The selected objects can be swapped using the Swap button.

After selecting both objects, the options can be adjusted. Clicking the Start device swap button performs the swap of both objects.

Swap by workstation systems#

Under Add-ons → Device Swap → Swap by workstation systems you make a preselection via assigned workstations:

1. Select an object type.
2. All Workstation objects whose Workstation components contain objects of this type appear.
3. Select one object per workstation to swap and click Swap selected objects.

Swap report#

A report on previous swap actions can be found under Add-ons → Device Swap → Swap Report (alternatively via Extras → Report Manager → Views → Swap Report).
