Before we configure your Auvik / ConnectWise Manage integration for inventory sync, let’s ensure everything is configured as expected in ConnectWise Manage for configuration items.
Configurations are used to set the type on the record when it’s created from Auvik. Questions on the configuration record allow extra detail from Auvik to be synced on devices.
