Frequently asked questions
How can I save a filtered view of the inventory to reuse later?
Create a segment. A segment saves a filtered view of the inventory, such as all teams with guests, so you can reuse it in reports, policies and automations. Your Rencore role needs the Create Segment permission.
Can I run a built-in action on several inventory objects at once?
Yes. You can run a built-in action, such as archiving a team, on one object or on many objects you select in the inventory. Your role needs the Execute actions permission for the action's criticality (low, medium or high).
How do I add my own business fields, such as cost centers, to the inventory?
Use Custom Metadata. It lets you add your own business fields, cost centers, project codes and classifications to the inventory. You can then use them in Policies, Reports, Provisioning, Reviews and Automations.
Can I copy a segment to another workspace or Environment?
Yes. Export the segment as a file, then import it in the other workspace or Environment. Exporting needs the Export Segment Schema permission, and importing needs the Import Segment Schema permission.
How can I download what I see in an inventory grid?
Export the grid to a PDF or Excel file. Your Rencore role needs the Export data permission to download an inventory or report grid.
