Asset Friendly name

Feature Request

Ability to either change or add a friendly name to an asset.
Sometimes, an asset may have a name such as DESKTOP_HGTJUIY
The option to change that name (whilst retaining the device hostname) in asset data, would allow us to recognise an asset by a better name.
Currently added a custom field to do this, but cannot add that field to the asset list columns. Or reorder those columns.
See below for an example of how it’s done elsewhere.

    Presuming you “replace” the hostname with the friendly name everywhere (except on the asset details page) could you make it so that when we hover over the friendly name it displays the original hostname? Please and thank you!

      Yep this is done :)

    Must have feature.

    Great that you can add it as a description and that it's indexed - but this isn't viewable on the asset list.

    A workaround here is to put the friendly name in the Description field -- this field is indexed in search just like the hostname :)

    Yes. Still keep the default name but have a friendly next to the asset header
