Tracking a part in details in nodelist, like shipping gene data to NB.

Quote:I thought we just needed to add a MSN (Manufacturer S/N) for searching a particular item with the MSN.

The usage info is currently handled by associating a component (e.g, a RAM module) to another (e.g., a server).

If we want to track the usage of the handling of the item, we can add notes to the 'note' attribute, or write records on TaB and add the link to the TaB thread to the 'note' attribute.

So I am not sure why we need to create a new table. What is the use case that motivated this, and why can't it be handled with the scheme I outlined above?

Here, I assumed the info should be recorded in nodelist. I thought the usage of nodelist is manage and track a part, so such info should be record in nodelist. It will be difficult to brows if we record most of info in Note attribute.
