Verifying Field Content In Device Viewer and Interface Viewer

After any custom data fields have been created in the Settings icon > General Settings > Custom Fields page, you can verify them and begin using them in the appliance by doing the following:

1. In Network Explorer, click the IP address of a device. The Device Viewer opens.
2. Under Device Viewer > Device/Network Explorer > Custom Data, check the list of custom fields in the device context.
   The Custom Data fields in this section will differ from those in other sections of the Device Viewer, such as Component Inventory. These fields are created under the Settings icon > General Settings > Custom Fields > and selecting the Devices type.
3. In the Device Viewer > Device/Network Explorer > Component Inventory, select a row in the Component Inventory table for the selected device.
4. Click the Edit Custom Fields button just above the Component Inventory table in the Device Viewer.
   The Edit Custom Fields dialog appears, displaying the list of one or more custom fields (defined under Settings) for this data set. Remember, these fields are defined under the Components type in Settings icon > General Settings > Custom Fields, and all fields you define in this category will appear in the Edit Custom Fields dialog box only in this context.
5. Enter the necessary values in the custom fields for the selected inventory row.
6. Click Save & Close to save changes and return to the Component Inventory. Or, click Save to select another custom field and enter another value.
7. Filter the table of inventory information by clicking Filters above the Component Inventory table, and select the desired fields/columns by which the table is filtered. Any custom fields you have created for this category will appear here.

To check Custom Data field configuration in the Interface Viewer and use custom fields therein, do the following:

1. Under Device Viewer > Interfaces > Configuration, click an entry in the Interface column. The Interface Viewer appears in a separate popup window.
2. Under Interface > Custom Data, click New. The Edit Custom Field Value dialog box appears.
3. In the Name field, select the desired custom field and enter the correct value for the field.
4. Click Save & Close to save changes and return to the Interface Viewer. To select another custom field and enter another value, click Save.

Custom Fields information can be deleted locally in the Interface Viewer context without removing the Custom Fields configuration from the entire system. To delete locally-used custom fields from the Interface Viewer, do the following:

1. Go to Interface Viewer > Interface >Custom Data.
2. In the table, click the Delete icon for the field information you want to remove.
3. Click Yes.
