Using a Custom Property to Calculate a date?

wanlanman

Hi All,

I was wondering if it's possible to have a custom property do a calculation. For example, I have a custom property for the date of the last refresh of the device. I was wondering if I could make a property that just takes that date and adds some number of years to it so I could then have it auto display when the next refresh will be due.

Is this possible in the custom property feature, or do I have to somehow calculate it via script and import the value?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Have you had a look at the API?

You could use a PowerShell script to update the custom property and then call that from a schedule or an alert action.
