Attributes

Attributes panel enables you to view device system and host descriptions, modify some of this information, and populate user defined attributes (such as Contact Information).

• Most fields are populated at discovery time such as device MAC address, device name, and so on. For example, for a Windows device, Discovery pulls in system and host information (Computer Properties) as attributes.
• Other fields, such as contact information, can be auto populated at discovery time using custom role definitions or edited through the Attributes panel.

Tip: Attribute values can be auto populated using Device Role definitions. You can also customize Device Attributes using discovery percent variable syntax.
