New features in Octopus

Barcode reader

You can now use a barcode reader to quickly load a CI file.

How to use:

Click in a quick search zone of any module to give it a target and scan the barcode.

If the barcode corresponds to a serial number of a CI, the CI file will automatically load. If the barcode is not recognized, Octopus will offer to create the CI or link it to an existing one.

For more information on this option, see the Using a barcode reader section of the Service Asset and Configuration Management Wiki.

With the arrival of Custom notifications, it was imperative to improve searches in a near future. This is why the search by date is now more flexible with the addition of the following named periods:

• Tomorrow
• Next 2 days
• Next 5 days
• Next 10 days
• Next 30 days
• Next 60 days
• Next 90 days
• Last 60 days
• Last 60 days

Note that the Next X days periods include the current date (today).
