What type of data are you trying to view?  If you are parsing output of a system command and attempting to get that back into the console, then maybe custom inventory is the best approach to take... 

Hi Joseph,

Is the data you are trying to extract from LDAP containing a small or large result set?

There is a connector to ldap on the NS console for large data sets import, and you can do ldap queries to fill in custom dataclasses.

Custom Inventory would be best suited for this task.  Take a look here for some detail around Custom Inventory in 7.0:

 I think I understand how this works. Would someone mind looking this over and double-check it for me? Thanks in advance
