Edit Custom Attributes

In several right-click menus (Managed Equipment, Port, Contact, Vendor, or Location), the

Edit

Custom Attributes

menu item lets you open the custom attribute editor appropriate for the device

type listed in the portlet. See Redcell > Data Configuration on page 45 for another way to get to

this editor.

Selecting a row in the editor lets you edit rows describing custom fields directly. The following are

the custom attribute properties you can alter:

Enabled

— Check Enabled to activate the selected custom field.

Label

— This is a label for the tooltip identified in the

Name

. The Label is what you see in the

portlets appropriate for the entity type you have selected. The

Ty p e

column in the attribute

describes the data type of the custom attribute (String, Integer, Date, Boolean–read only).

When you select Boolean the field is a checkbox.

Toolti p

— The tip that appears when you hover the cursor over the custom field.

Click

Save

to preserve any changes you have made, or

Cancel

to abandon them.
