Get Assets object type through smart value

Aleksandra Leesment

Hello, I would like to extract object type through automation. Currently, I am using Object updated trigger through Global automation.

Screenshot 2023-10-26 at 10.27.58.png

This trigger doesn't let using AQL, so I have to get the objectType/category of the object retrieved and use Advanced compare condition to filter out the needed objects. Unless you can suggest simpler ways to do it. I can access the object with smart value {{object}}, however, I can't seem to get the objectType attribute. I couldn't find information about it in the documentation. Thank you for your help in advance!

Hello @Aleksandra Leesment ,

According to this documentation, it seems that you can access the object's attribute through this syntax: {{object.(attribute name)}}

Can you try this and let us know?

Managed to get the category by using {{object.objectType}}.

Josh Schoenick

I was attempting to do this for a reference to another object.

I have 8 objectTypes that are different categories of hardware devices like: Computer, Display, Printer, Networking, etc.

They each have an attribute of Type that references a Type objectType in my schema. That Type objectType has a Category attribute that has options matching the 8 different hardware object types.

Type objectType is used as a sub-category field, for example, the category Display is assigned to Monitor, Projector, TV.

Long story short, from the Display objectType I was able limit the Type options based on the ObjectType using the Filter with AQL feature within that attribute configuration with
"Category" = ${objectType}
