Snipe-IT Admins and Users - Serial Number as a required unique field
-
Was this mentioned on Snipe-IT gitter chat too?

I think it should be optional on/off requirement. The likelihood that a serial is not unique is low, but still could happen.

Cool. I will go vote for it now.

Sounds like any field should have this ability, not restricted to serial numbers.

I used the Asset Tag field for the company asset ID #, and the serial number field as the Dell Tag #.
The should all be unique.
I did a huge import and discovered some duplicates, but only a few and seems like they were typos or mistakes... i just added a
-1or-2after the tag# to keep records straight.But yeah, I see the point, both should be unique really.

For anyone interested this feature was added to the master branch a few days ago, I have it enabled and it works as intended.
We had to generate a report of assets and serial numbers and found a handful of them, which we just cleaned up.

Software License AGPL3

They must use the self-hosted version as the testing grounds for any major issues, that or are you expected to request system updates regularly?

Honestly, I don't know how they do that. I am pretty sure that I have had to request each upgrade. I think I started on 3.6 or something. That was about a year ago. When I started using it, the support for self-hosted was slightly more than having it hosted by them. So, I decided make it easy on myself and save a few bucks.

Do you have to ask to be updated to a specific release?
And updating the self hosted version for me is 1 command for Snipe-IT, while the host is just a another sudo yum upgrade

@dustinb3403 - I have just said update to the latest release.

It should be upgraded automatically.

Technically I could have automatic backups and upgrades as well, but it would just be a scheduled event.

It could be automatic, but I might be jumping the gun on the roll-out schedule.

This is very possible, since I'm self hosted, whenever the GH page shows an update I pull them down. Which of course could cause issues but I like to be current.

Just updated one client system. Now on v4.5.0 build 3701 (gbf1e742df)
