Summary

Creates a new IT Glue flexible asset type (a template defining a category of flexible assets) via a POST to the flexible_asset_types endpoint and returns the created record.

Inputs

  • Name (required) — Name of the flexible asset type.
  • Description — Description of the type. Left out of the request if empty.
  • Icon — Icon name for the type. Left out of the request if empty.
  • Enabled — Whether the type is enabled. Defaults to true and is always sent, since it is a boolean.

Output shape

A single item holding the created flexible asset type. Attribute keys are converted from kebab-case to camelCase (e.g. name, description, icon, enabled), plus id and type, and relationships if IT Glue returns them.

Throws an error if IT Glue returns no data. This operation does not create fields for the type; use the Flexible Asset Field resource to add them. Requests are retried on HTTP 429. With Continue On Fail enabled, errors are returned as an error item.

Examples

Example 1: Create a new asset type for documenting backup systems.

Resource: Flexible Asset Type, Operation: Create, Name: "Backup Systems", Description: "Backup jobs and targets", Enabled: true

Example 2: Provision a disabled type to be filled in later.

Name: "Vendor Contracts", Icon: "file", Enabled: false
