What changed after migrating to Version 2?

Link assets

In order for Snipe-IT Version 2 to link assets to a Story, we use a custom field to keep track of each assigned asset. These custom fields can be configured to only support certain categories (e.g. Laptops, Displays, and so on). You are also able to use multiple custom fields for a target project.

In Version 1 those fields were configured through Settings > Custom Fields and type External Asset Platform and assigned through the issue screens. This is no longer necessary. After the migration you should remove those custom fields from your issue screens.

Instead Version 2 simplifies this process and they can be easily assigned through the Snipe-IT Configuration and without any additional steps show up on the issues create and details screen.

Version 2

Linked Assets and Assets of Reporter on Issue Details Screen

The linked assets section and assets of reporter pane has been combined into one the Snipe-IT Assets view. After the migration the old linked assets field can still be viewed but no longer be edited. Therefore we recommend to remove the “old” Assets Field from the issues screen in order to avoid any confusion.

Version 2

Syncing Assets

With Version 2, we've eliminated the need for regular asset synchronization. This means that all assets are now almost instantly available and updated. Additionally, the previous asset limit of 10,000 assets has been removed, and the app now supports all assets within the Snipe-IT instance.
