Modifying Custom Field Names
Custom field names allow you to change the Site, Department, and Location column heading
names that appear in the Group and Unit Selector panes. This allows you to group Remote
Console Switches and servers in ways that are meaningful to you. The Department field is a
subset of Site. If you customize these field names, you should keep this hierarchy in mind.
