Hi,

Two questions;

  1. Does anyone know if it is possible to edit the fields which we use to prompt users for their details in Deployment Console?
  2. Is there a way to export these details from the Deployment Console to say excel?

Please see attached screenshot.imagebrowser image

Thanks Steve

 Hi Steve, I think there

 Hi Steve, I think there isn't a simple way to add more fields. It would require modifying the database, which I am not familiar doing for the DS schema. Maybe somebody else has done this?

Regarding exporting this data into a spreadsheet, you could query the SQL database. It looks like that data lives in the Location table, which you could join on the computer_id field to the Computers table.

Thanks George, Yeah i think

Thanks George,

Yeah i think the easiest part would be the reporting side.

If anyone has looked into adding or renaming the fields above, please let me know.

 I'm guessing most people

 I'm guessing most people don't mess with those fields, since prompting a user for that info would yield unreliable info.

Inquiring minds want to know

I've been looking for a way to edit Location data for over a year now, but I'm limited by the fact that my organization is only using DS and help desk.

It seems like there should be a way to populate the values other than letting the end-users at it, even if you'd have to use SQL.
