Editing Objects

Introduction

In Docusnap365, all inventoried and documented objects can be extended, maintained, and contextualized in a structured manner. This applies to both technical elements (e.g., hardware, networks, software) and business objects (e.g., applications, information, processes). Centralized editing makes Docusnap365 a powerful tool for IT documentation, analysis, and compliance.
