9.8 News: Auto-grading for Technology Types

Auto-Grading for Technology Types

• Every item on a Technology Type now gets an End of Life date and a grade automatically
  ​
• End of Life is the earlier of two dates: the purchase date plus the class lifespan, or the operating system's end of support
  ​
• The grade follows that date. Danger once it has passed, Warning within the number of months you set, Healthy beyond that
  ​
• A grade you set by hand always takes precedence
  ​
• Important: your existing items come in with their current grades kept as set by hand, so nothing changes until you enroll them. Set their grade to Auto, one at a time or in bulk with mass edit
  ​
• If you missed our recent Technology Types release, start with The Technology Module, then Auto-Budgeting and Auto-Grading Technology Assets
