Overview

This node operation creates a new Flexible Asset Type in the IT Glue system. It is useful for users who want to define and organize custom asset types with specific attributes such as name, description, and icon within their IT Glue environment. For example, an IT administrator can use this node to add a new asset type representing a particular category of hardware or software assets.

Use Case Examples

1. Create a new flexible asset type named 'Network Device' with a description and an icon to categorize network-related assets.
2. Add a custom asset type for 'Cloud Services' with a specific icon to better manage cloud resources.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions to create flexible asset types.
• Verify that the 'Name' property is provided and is not empty, as it is required.
• Check for network connectivity issues that might prevent communication with the IT Glue API.
• If the API returns an error, review the error message for details such as invalid input or permission issues and adjust accordingly.
