# Connections

This tab allows to manage the direct connections between a computer and its connected elements.

Direct connections represent the relation between different hardwares linked either physically or virtually.

## From a computer

The connection can be made toward one or several elements of type display, printer, peripheral or phone. For each type of connected object, its name, serial number and inventory number are displayed.

## From an element other than a computer

To add a connection, select the computer in the drop-down list presented at top of the table.

If this case, the connection can only be made to a single computer. The table will list the name of this computer as well as its serial and inventory numbers.

{% hint style="info" %}
The deletion of a connection can be made from the entry of each connected hardware (tab `Connections`) via mass actions.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Every deletion or addition of a connection is recorded in the history of the computer.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If using native inventory or third-party inventory tool, the connections information can be automatically imported and updated.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.glpi-project.org/documentation/modules/assets/tabs/connexions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
