Introduction
This article is designed to guide IT Staff through the process of adding a custom attribute to an IP address within the Netdot database.
This requires that the user has:
- User access to Netdot
- IP address block assigned to the user
Note: If you do not have access to Netdot or do not have IP Blocks assigned to your Netdot Account, submit a ticket with Enterprise Systems.
