# Generic objects

***

### How do I use object management?

A [procedure ](/doc-plugins/plugins-glpi/genericobject.md)is available to help you set up this plugin.

***

### What is the purpose of object management?

This plugin allows you to add new types of inventory objects, integrated into the GLPI framework.

***

### Can I integrate with other plugins?

Yes, several plugins can interact with object management:

* [Data injection](/doc-plugins/plugins-glpi/datainjection.md)
* [Order management](/doc-plugins/plugins-glpi/order.md)
* [Inventory number generation](https://github.com/pluginsGLPI/geninventorynumber)
* [Uninstall](/doc-plugins/plugins-glpi/uninstall.md)
* [Treeview](/doc-plugins/plugins-glpi/treeview.md)

***

### What types of fields can be added to the GLPI object created?

The object will appear like any other object in the park, so you have a wide choice of fields available. We invite you to consult the list [here](/doc-plugins/plugins-glpi/genericobject.md)

***

### Can I add fields to an element other than the park?

No, this is not possible. Only the park can benefit from additional objects. You can use the [additional fields](/doc-plugins/plugins-glpi/fields.md) plugin if you have other specific needs.

***

### Can additional fields be visible to everyone?

Yes. You can manage read, write, delete, etc. permissions for each field you add from check:**`administration`** > **`profiles`** , **`object management`** tab of the relevant profile.

***

### By which other GLPI elements can the additional field be visible?

The additional fields you create are visible to other GLPI objects:

* Use child entities
* Use Assistance
* Use Item in the dustbin
* Use Notes
* Use Historical
* Use Templates
* Use Financial and administratives information
* Use Contracts
* Use Documents
* Use Reservations
* Use Field unicity
* Use Global search
* Use Projects
* Using Network Connections
* Using Components
* Use Impact analysis

***

### Can I make an element created with the plugin reservable?

Yes. In the **`behaviour`** section of the plugin, you can tick the **`use reservations`** box. It will then be usable like any other element in your park.
