oE-mail address field
oHyperlink field
oDNS zone
oDHCP area

 

 

Moreover you have the option to assign different names for the languages used in your environment.

 

Inheritance

In you can specify inheritances for the defined fields. This way you can make sure that a field is set on all elements below a folder or a print server.

Apart from the mere inheritance, you can also specify that the value/content of a field should be inherited.

 

Example: We are using a date field "Purchase date" and define it with "inherit field". This field is assigned to our print server Print-01. As a result, it will automatically be inherited to all underlying printers and folders. Subsequently, we can  assign values for the individual fields (see figure steadyPRINT Center: Inheritance of custom fields).
