Stripping domain name?

Question

Is there a way to strip the domain name when displayed in Orion if it matches one or more domain names?   I want to get rid of everything that says "us.companyname.com" where its displayed to make things a bit shorter and less cluttered...

If not, this would make a good feature request!!

I see there is an open feature request on this for all those who want to vote on it!

All good ways if they aren't going to add it as a feature...  I'd vote for having it added as a feature though!!

I've done this for maps displaying purposes.   I created a custom data field called HostName.  I then run a JOB in the OS that launches a batch file running a SQL statement.  I run it every night for every node, that way if the name changes, it is covered.  This also allows auto-updating maps...   See attached:
