Figure 11-7. Config Editor - Custom Fields
This screen lets you edit rows describing custom fields directly. Click in a column and start typing
(some are read-only). The following are the columns:
-
Attribute Name —This is a simple identifier, like Custom1, Custom2 , and so on. (read only). For
example, you could create an attribute for
Data Center ID and have that appear for searches
and sorts.
-
Data Type —This describes the data type of the custom attribute ( String, Integer, Date, Boolean –
read only). When you select
Boolean the field is a checkbox.
-
Enabled —Check Enabled to activate the selected custom field.
-
Label —The label that precedes the custom field(s) on the screen.
-
Tooltip —The tip that appears when you hover the cursor over the custom field.
Add User-Defined Attribute
Use the Add New Attribute button to create additional attributes you have configured in the lowest
panel on this screen.
NOTE:
You must restart the client screen where these fields appear to see the effect of changes in this editor.
Once you configure these labels, they appear in the editor appropriate to the Inventory Type
selected.
