Asset Archive Status

We are noticing that if we archive an asset that we keep in custom asset such as a network device, it remains in the Racks layout. The scenario is you have a switch that is retired, you document that retirement per your procedures and then set that device to archive. In the real world, my tech has removed that switch for recycling.

Should that not automatically remove it from the rack and other linked references?

When you place the asset in the rack, sure would be nice if that asset had a magic link to the rack object. It doesn’t today, not by default or automagically and there is no asset magic link option to select a rack. Hudu’s power comes from our ability to link assets and objects per their logical relationships.
