The Device Info (Device Metadata) are useful for times when the admin would like the system to store information on a device that it does not collect by default. This page is used for managing those fields and their properties within the system. 

 

To add a new Device Info (Device Metadata) field click on the 'Add New Device Info' link at the top of the page.

 

All of the currently defined custom client data fields are displayed on this page. The current Device Information that has been defined is listed:

 

Question: This is the label for the information that is being stored. For devices, common Questions are: Processor Type, HDD Size, etc.

 

Type: This is the form field type of the custom data field as it will appear in the add or edit client popup.  There are two possible values: Text and Selectbox.

 

Options: This item displays information about how the form field will be presented.  For text inputs, the length of the field is displayed.  For select boxes, an example pull down menu is displayed.

 

To the right of each listing is a link to edit the device info and a link to remove it from the system.  Clicking edit will bring up the edit field popup that will allow the user to update the settings.  Clicking remove will remove the field from the system.  When removed, all data currently stored in client records for this field will be lost.
