Dynamic list of maps on Node Details page

This would dynamically generate a list of maps that the specific node you're looking at is on.

ie. We've mapped out different VLANs for troubleshooting, or multiple customer network maps, etc... if you were looking at an internal switch you would get a list of maps that your internal switch were a part of.

Would this be useful to anyone other than myself, or perhaps someone has done something like this before?

We actually have a custom report that does this (i.e. lists the nodes, along with a list of maps that the node appears).

I will post this in the custom reports in a day or two (need to put some words around it)

I have posted this custom report here

Please note, it also contains a DTS script to populate a custom property.

Thanks for the upload. Just getting around to looking at this again although DTS scripts is a little out of my league and our dB is on a seperate cluster than our web interface but we'll see how we do! I understand the flow, so I'll work w/ my sql guy to see if we can get this working.

This would be a fantastic thing to see integrated into the product itself but I suspect it would require some integration of the Map Maker product into the actual dB itself for map references where currently the Map Maker is an independent product that simply uses the dB but doesn't have it's own tables.
