We propose implementing a system where an asset (or any item, e.g., Folder, KB, Password, etc.) can have an “Upstream Inheritance” toggle:
  • Upstream: The original source (e.g., Golden Template KB).
  • Downstream: The company-specific instances that inherit from the upstream source.
When enabled:
  • Updates to the upstream item automatically propagate to all downstream instances.
  • Downstream items can exist in multiple companies without affecting the original upstream source.
  • Version control should track changes in both upstream and downstream instances to maintain consistency and allow rollback if needed.
Key Benefits:
  • Standardizes processes across multiple companies while allowing company-specific modifications.
  • Ensures that the upstream source remains unaffected by downstream changes.
-Saves time and reduces errors by eliminating the need for manual updates across multiple KBs or assets.
-This feature would significantly improve efficiency and consistency in managing company-specific KBs, assets, folders, passwords, and other resources derived from a central template.
