Hi, just as AP said. For example for one customer we added a couple of extra custom attributes for virtual machines for "System Owner" and "Cost Center" so that when your looking at your cluster or host and switch to the virtual machines tab, they could add those columns into the view and sort on those values or report on them.

Thanks,

Neil
