Items in Add Generic Container dialog box

Items in the dialog box include:
  • (Parent)
    (Read-only) Shows the name of the container into which the container is being added.
  • Description
  • (Optional) Type a description for the container. The description will be shown in the
    Archive
    tab when the asset is selected. The description can be a maximum of 260 characters.
  • Name
    Enter a unique and meaningful name for the container. This name will appear in the asset tree. The software defaults to
    Generic Container
    . The name must be unique within the parent container. That is, you can have two containers with the same name in the asset tree, they just can't be in the same parent container.
    Asset names can be a maximum of 260 characters. The characters \ / : * ? " < > | are not allowed. The character pair &# is not allowed. A space, tab, underscore (_) or dollar sign ($) cannot be the first character in a name, but can be used elsewhere in the name. The following Microsoft Windows device names cannot be used as asset names, whether upper or lower case, with or without the colon: CON:, PRN:, AUX:, NUL:, COM1:, COM2:, COM3:, COM4:, COM5:, COM6:, COM7:, COM8:, COM9:, LPT1:, LPT2:, LPT3:, LPT4:, LPT5:, LPT6:, LPT7:, LPT8:, and LPT9. For example,
    Auxiliary Line
     would be a valid name whereas
    Aux Line
     would not.
  • Agent Group
    Click in this field and then click browse_button_small to select the agent group for the container.
    • When adding the container under the root, the default value of Agent Group is
      System Default
      .
    • When adding the container under another container, the default value of Agent Group is
      Inherit from parent: the parent container’s Agent Group property
      .
