System Attributes
A default set of system attributes is included in the Portal software. These attributes cannot be deleted, however, you must create the list of values (LOV) for your enterprise. See
Editing or Renaming Attributes and
Attribute Inheritance Overrides.
When you assign a list of values to an attribute, the values are available to all objects. Typically, a list of values will be suitable for all object types (hosts, arrays, etc.). There may be cases where you require a list of values for one type of object and a separate list of values for another type of object. For these cases, you would need to create a user-define attribute with a different name.
