Flexible Asset Field → Get

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation retrieves flexible asset fields from the IT Glue API. It allows users to fetch either all available flexible asset fields or a limited number based on user-defined parameters. This is useful for scenarios where users need to access metadata or custom fields associated with flexible asset types in IT Glue, such as for asset management, reporting, or integration with other systems.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch all flexible asset fields without limit to get a complete list of fields for a specific flexible asset type.
  2. Fetch a limited number of flexible asset fields (e.g., 50) to reduce data volume and improve performance when only a subset of fields is needed.

Properties

Name Meaning
Return All Determines whether to return all flexible asset fields or limit the number of results.
Limit Specifies the maximum number of flexible asset fields to return when 'Return All' is false.
Flexible Asset Type ID Filters the flexible asset fields by the specified flexible asset type ID to retrieve fields related to a particular asset type.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the flexible asset field.
  • name - The name of the flexible asset field.
  • type - The data type of the flexible asset field.
  • flexibleAssetTypeId - The ID of the flexible asset type to which the field belongs.
  • createdAt - Timestamp when the flexible asset field was created.
  • updatedAt - Timestamp when the flexible asset field was last updated.

Dependencies

  • IT Glue API authentication token or API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the API credentials are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions to access flexible asset fields.
  • If the 'Flexible Asset Type ID' filter is set, verify that the ID is valid and corresponds to an existing flexible asset type in IT Glue.
  • If no results are returned, check if the flexible asset type has any associated fields or if the limit is set too low.
  • Common error messages may include authentication errors (invalid API key), permission denied, or resource not found. Verify credentials and resource IDs to resolve these issues.
