OK.... I have come to the conclusion that trying to get multiple device types ( example all nodes in the WAN) can not be accomplished by a custom property and a view. It looks like the best way to get this done is to manually assign the hyperlink for this view to every node in the WAN in Network Atlas.
Now my question is can the ${NodeId} variable be used in the hyperlink
here is an example.....
This is a normal hyperlink.... /Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?netobject=N:1661&ViewID=292
This is what I would like to do.... /Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?netobject=N:${NodeID}&ViewID=292
Is this possible or should I be using a different variable?
