Feature Requests Revert custom property column headings to just the custom property name

Revert custom property column headings to just the custom property name

See: Re: ANNOUNCING GENERAL AVAILABILITY OF NPM 10.7

Someone with decided that adding extraneous text identifying a custom property as such was a good idea.

It is not; this change should be reverted

It should be noted that the most voluble complaints about new UI changes have always been around custom properties. For those of us with large networks (more than 10,000 objects) these are essential for us to manage our infrastructures. Changes to the UI around custom properties should always be explicitly included in the release notes for beta and release candidates.

Thanks

Quick perspective, this is a minor thorn. But when you consider in aggregate the number of times this "glitch" must be dealt with daily, it is on the mind when exploring other monitoring solutions for Application Performance Monitoring and other needs.

Agreed- this was certainly an unintended consequence for a feature that was implemented elsewhere in the product. We're looking to see what it will take to modify and get readability back to where it was.

I also wish to emphasize that this should be reverted. It does not add any relevant information in a space that is constrained for pixels. Revert, ASAP please.

Agreed! If I could apply more than one vote to this I would.
Reference my notes from the NPM 10.7 availability post Re: ANNOUNCING GENERAL AVAILABILITY OF NPM 10.7.
This "lost value" add must be reverted ASAP! It has been received poorly by a growing consumer community here as I work to solidify Enterprise Systems Monitoring practice and processes. Due to the nature of Orion NPM, SAM, and other modules much focus was placed on the use of many custom properties to help filter and sort thousands of devices on dashboards, groups, and event management rules.

Agreed. We upgrade next week and I'm not looking forward to this based on what everyone else seems to be experiencing.
