The Attributes endpoint allows you to add customized customised values to different attributes in Open-AudIT, at the moment this feature works on the Class, Environment, Status and Type attributes on Devices only.

How Does it Work?

Attributes are stored for Open-AudIT to use for particular fields, at present all fields are based on the devices (system) table.
The attributes you can edit are associated with the following columns: Class, Environment, Status & Type.

Notes:

If you add a device type, to display the associated icon you will have to manually copy the .svg formatted file to the directory:
 Linux: /usr/local/open-audit/www/open-audit/device_images
 Windows: c:\xampplite\htdocs\open-audit\device_images
