Add Custom Attributes Using the Actions Menu

Tip (NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) If you are a Regional Manager's NNMi administrator and are adding a Custom Attribute, remember to notify your Global Manager's NNMi administrator about that new Custom Attribute name. See Global Manager: Configure Custom Attribute Replication.

To add a Custom Attribute to multiple nodes, chassis, interfaces, or cards using the Actions menu (if your role permits you to do this):

Navigate to a Nodes, Chassis, Interfaces, or Cards inventory view.
1. From the workspace navigation panel, select the Inventory workspace.
2. Select the view of interest (for example, Nodes view).
  
  Tip You can also select Nodes or Interfaces from a map view. See Customize Object Attributes.
Use Ctrl-Click to select each object to which you want to add to a Custom Attribute.
Select Actions → Custom Attributes → Add.

In the Custom Attributes dialog, box, enter the following:

Name

Do one of the following:

Select a previously established entry from the drop-down list. For example:
- NNM_ICON (to customize the Device Profile icon, see Configure the Device Profile Icon for Specified Nodes)
- NPS Annotation (to enhance NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics reports, see Annotate NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics Reports)
Type any value directly into the drop-down list to created a new one:

Maximum of 50 characters. Alpha-numeric, spaces, and special characters (~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _+ -)

Value

Type the value you want to assign to the Custom Attribute:

Maximum of 2000 characters. Alpha-numeric, spaces, and special characters (~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _+ -)
