You can add new custom properties for various object types in Micetro.

In some cases, you may also need to use cascading (nested) lists. When applicable, you can add a cascading list property to an existing parent custom property. This nests the new property under the parent property. You can then manage the entire cascading list, including all child properties, in one place by editing the cascading list options.

To add a custom property:

  1. On the Configuration tab of the Admin page, select Custom properties in the left sidebar.
  2. In the data grid, select the object type for which you want to create a custom property.
  3. Select + Add custom property
  4. In the dialog, specify the new property details:

    • Name: Enter a name for the custom property.
    • Property type: Select the type (Text, Multi-line text, Select list, Yes/No, IP address, or Number).
    • Required: If selected, the user must enter a value; cannot be combined with Read only.
    • Read only: If selected, the field is locked for editing; cannot be combined with Required.

      Read-only properties can be set using the API or external scripts.

  5. Enter appropriate options and values based on the property type.
  6. Enter a Default value for new objects created with this property.
  7. Select Save.

Adding a cascading list property

In some situations, nested lists are necessary, for example, when requesting location identity information. These allow you to apply several related custom properties at once.

For example, you can specify a City that is located inside a Region, which is located inside a Country. If you create these as cascading list properties, you can apply a City property to an object and it will also apply the parent properties Region and Country.

To add a cascading list property:

  1. On the Configuration tab of the Admin page, select Custom properties in the left sidebar.
  2. In the data grid, select the object type for which you want to create a cascading list property.
  3. Select the parent custom property.
  4. Use the Row ... menu to select Add cascading list property.
  5. Enter the required information in the dialog:

    • Name: Enter a name for the property.
    • Required: Check this box to make the the property required. If the parent property is optional, you cannot make the property required.
    • Select list options: Enter the values to be used as available options in the format ParentOption:ChildOption.
    • Default value: Select a default value, if appliable.
  6. Select Save.
