After you configure extensible attributes for an object, the attributes become available in the Extensible Attributes tab of the wizard and editor of the corresponding object. Users then add or edit the attribute values, based on your configuration. Users can also specify attributes when searching for data and add attributes as columns in the tables of Grid Manager. For example, you can add the predefined Site attribute as a column in the Records panel of the Zones tab. For information about adding columns to tables, see Customizing Tables.
Users can also group objects in smart folders according to their attributes. For example, a user can create a smart folder that contains all networks in a certain site.
Users can enable the appliance to group members by extensible attributes. For information, see Grouping Members by Extensible Attributes.
