Node Grouping with a Tree View

I'm having some trouble organizing the nodes I am monitoring.
Now that I have about 300 devices/interfaces to keep tabs on I want to break the devices into groups. Ideally I want there to be a State level view (e.g: CA,FL,NJ,TX) then under that a Site Level organization then under that each device at that site.

I was able to make a Map with the Map maker with drill downs to state and site, but an expandable tree view is preferred for the other people that use the system. The tree view has to on the web interface.

I'm using Orion Network Performance Monitor 7.8.172

Check the Documentation here:

Grouping and Filtering Nodes

Node lists can be customized for a user's View by use of grouping and filtering. To include a Node List, follow the instructions for Creating a New View or Editing a View on page 4, selecting Node List - Custom Grouping and Filtering from either the Node Lists or Summary Reports Group on the Add Resources page. Click Preview on the Customize View page to be presented with your page in a new window. Navigate to the location of the Node List - Custom Grouping and Filtering placeholder.

Click Edit Resource (or the Click Here hyperlink) to display the Edit Node List -Custom Grouping and Filtering page.

Change the Title text, if you wish, that will display on the Header for the Node List. Use the drop downs provided to select the criteria for which you would like to group your list of nodes. If you would like to filter the nodes, enter the filter in the text box provided. The Show Filter Examples hyperlink is provided to aid in the creation of filters. When you are satisfied with your selections, click Submit. You will be returned to the Preview page with the Nodes matching your specifications listed.

Basically you can base the tree view on any custom property you have defined in Custom Property Editor.

I.E. State>City>Site or State>Vendor>Machine Type

Thanks, I eventually called customer service and found out about the Custom Property Editor which I didn't know about before and the documetation I found never referenced it.

What about applications? Can applications be grouped by node, too? I have an all applications view which is quite lenghty since each node has several applications being monitored. It would be nice to group the applications into a tree view as well.
