Support for user-editable properties

RST reports can be configured to allow users to edit properties from the portal.

To add support for user-editable properties. This functionality was added for the following specific use-cases:
  • To enable customers to change resource names (typically numeric addresses) to something more descriptive through the use of a new customerFacingName property.
  • To enable account managers to set a property to either true or false, so that they can manage the groupings of their customers for the display of resources in RST reports. Only resources marked as true are viewable.
    Important: While any property can be selected to be user-editable from the portal, it is imperative that you determine that the property is not overwritten by Discovery formulas or resmgr command updates. Otherwise, any changes made to the property from the portal are not persistent.
To configure support for these use cases, and also to configure a reporter so that any property can be edited from the portal, see:
