Need help with Inventory List

I'd like to create a report\list of a specific type of switch at 1 location. I've looked in the report section but I don't see a way to add this custom category, just choose from an existing list of reports. Is it possible to get this granular with a report in SW?

No, the summary view is not changed by custom properties.

You will end up wanting to set up custom properties that reflect any kind of way you would want to divide up or group the nodes/interfacesin your network, especially for reporting. I know in my environment I use about a dozen custom properties to reflect things like who is responsible for the asset in our org, what applications it is being used for, warranty contacts, where to find it in the racks, whatever. Then you want to create custom views and reports that reflect those groupings. If you have any specific questions just ask.

Do you have a custom property defined with that location? In the web report writer what you would want to do is filter the report to just include nodes that have that custom property.

No, we don't have a custom property defined. Can you give me some guidance on doing this? Thanks for your help.

Actually, it's pretty straight forward. I figured that piece of it out. This won't affect the way the Nodes display in the summary section will it?
