Example: Custom fields
In the following example, a DSView 3 software administrator wants to examine a unit test
configuration. The units will be placed in one of two categories: an initial configuration or a final
configuration category. The administrator also wants to identify the unit’s managers. At the present
time, the DSView 3 software administrator has one DSR1021 switch and one EVR1500
environmental monitor to add to the test configuration category and one generic appliance to add to
the final configuration category.
