If you determine that you want to keep track of additional information about a Node, Chassis, Interface, or Card, you can add Custom Attributes to these objects. For example, you might determine that you want to track the owner of your nodes on the network. You might also want to track the serial number for each node. The Custom Attribute value appears in the object's table view and on the object form's Custom Attributes tab. For more information:
