Hello, I'm new to this program and just wanted to ask something.
I really liked CMDBuild, but there are some features we need at our lab.
I'll say first of all i'm not a programmer, but i do know how to code, so i can manage writing/modifying code.
What i want is this, we have a lot of development boards that sometimes need an update, this update requires some soldering and swapping of parts, is it possible to have a mechanism that will inform all admins that machine XXX need rework YYY (this will require me to update the latest rework manually, that's OK).
Also is it possible to add/remove fields like in the computer hardware, i need to have a field for CPU type and serial, and more stuff like that, also there are fields that we don't need, is it possible to remove them?
1)
If you want that under certain conditions the system sends an e-mail notification that suggests to perform certain operations, you can use the asynchronous events in the Task Manager (CMDBuild Administrator Manual).
If you want that modifying a CMDBuild attribute an email notification is sent, you can use the synchronous events in the Task Manager.
If you want to enable a more complex mechanism, you can configure a workflow (CMDBuild Workflow Manual).
2)
I do not know if you’re using the CMDBuild demo database (a minimal database, useful only as an example), if you are using the CMDBuild Ready2Use database ( http://www.cmdbuild.org/en/prodotti/ready2use ), or if you are using a database configured from scratch by one of your colleagues.
However, in CMDBuild you can add and remove classes and attributes as you prefer.
If the class or attribute contains no data (not even historicized) they will be deleted physically, otherwise only logically.

OK i see what you mean, I've installed CMDBuild on Ubuntu on our servers, now i see that i'll need to configure all the fields my self, is that right?
if that's the case then i understand that's it fully customizable?
The data model CMDBuild Ready2Use is quite complete for most normal use, you may start by checking if it is okay for your needs.
In general I can confirm to you that CMDBuild is fully configurable, you can extend the CMDBuild Ready2Use model, or create a new model (and then workflows, reports, etc) from scratch.
