Use cases
ITTYPE is a simple lookup entity that provides a controlled vocabulary for classifying ITASSET records via their assetType field. It uses a flat grid-based view (not complex editor) because it only needs name and description - typical for a reference data entity. Having asset types as a separate entity rather than a hardcoded select list allows organisations to define their own IT asset taxonomy (e.g., Laptop, Desktop, Server, Monitor, Printer, Phone, Tablet, Network Equipment) without modifying the ITASSET definition.
