I have found that I can use my Custom Node Details view with a selct group of nodes by using the 'Network Atlas' and assigning that view to the map object that represents that node. Basicall all i need to do is add this the the 'Manual hyperlink' edit box
/Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?netobject=N:1055&viewid=242
My question is that in this case I need to specifically use the node number (N:1055).. Is it possible to replace the N:1055 with a variable?
