Best Practice: Use the Author Attribute

Many NNMi configuration forms include the Author attribute.

As you create or modify the configurations on these forms, set the Author attribute to a value that identifies your organization. When you export the NNMi configuration, you can specify an author value to pull only those items that your organization has customized.

When you upgrade NNMi, the installer does not overwrite any configurations whose author value is not set.
