The record

Purpose: CMDBuild is an open-source web environment for configuring custom asset-management applications.
Asset lifecycle: It manages asset databases and supports tracking asset composition, location, functional relationships, updates, and lifecycle.
Configuration features: Native mechanisms support database modeling, workflow design, report and dashboard configuration, external connectors, georeferencing, and administration.
Core features: The feature list includes database modeling, workflow and report engines, dashboards, file import and export, document archives, GIS and BIM, history, task management, and scheduling.
Integrations: REST web services let applications read and write data, execute operations, exchange notifications, and connect to external asset, staff, ERP, infrastructure, monitoring, and IoT systems.
Access controls: Permissions can be scoped to classes, rows, columns, processes, views, filters, reports, and dashboards, and assigned through user roles.
Authentication: The page lists local authentication, LDAP, CAS, SAML 2.0, ADFS 4 via SAML, HTTP proxy header authentication, and custom OAuth2 authentication.
Multitenancy: Multitenant mode can isolate tenants using either separate databases or partial divisions with some shared information.
License: The maker says CMDBuild may be used, distributed, and edited under the GNU Affero GPL (AGPL), with specified legal notice and logo requirements for modified versions.
Deployment: CMDBuild runs on a web server and is accessed through a browser; the maker says it runs on Linux, OSX, and Windows and requires web-server setup knowledge.
Requirements: The listed minimum hardware is a server-class computer, 16 GB RAM, 150 GB disk per instance, and four cores; software requirements include PostgreSQL 17.x, Tomcat 10, and Java 17.
Not included: The standard CMDBuild download does not contain a data model, workflows, reports, or dashboards; the maker points users to READY2USE for a preconfigured instance.
