Add Common Attributes

Common attributes are stored in the ca_owned_resource table in the nr object. This table provides the following customizable fields:

• smag_1
• smag_2
• smag_3
• smag_4
• smag_5
• smag_6

If you require less than seven customized attributes among all CI families, these fields provide a convenient solution.

As supplied, these custom fields do not display on any form. To allow CA CMDB users to view or update a smag_n field, use the Web Screen Painter (WSP) to add it to any display form as desired. All logging and GRLoader functions are already enabled.

Note: For Web Screen Painter Schema Designer procedures, consult the "Customizing" chapter of the CA Service Desk Implementation Guide and the Customize Database Schema section of Web Screen Painter online help.
