Set custom inventory

Description

Sets a custom inventory value for a unit. If the section and name don’t exist in custom inventory yet, they’re created.

Syntax

Two functions are available. Use the one that matches how you identify the unit.

UnitName and UnitType

SetCustomInventory(Byval UnitName as String, Byval UnitType as String, Byval section as String, Byval Name as String, Byval Value as String, Byval DataType as String) as Boolean

Uuid

SetCustomInventoryUUID(Byval Uuid as String, Byval Section as String, Byval Name as String, Byval Value as String, Byval DataType as String) as Boolean

Parameters

UnitName (String)

The name of the unit to set custom inventory for. You can also specify the UUID of the unit. The UnitType is then ignored.

UnitType (String)

The type of unit stated in UnitName. You can use the Id or the name of the unit type, for example:

• “1” or “Computer”
• “2” or “User”
• The Id or name of another unit type, for example a custom device type

Uuid (String)

The UUID of unit to set custom inventory for in the format; xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Section (String)

Inventory section

Name (String)

Name of the value

Value (String)

The value itself

DataType (String)

The type of data being inserted;

• “I” = Integer
• “T” = Time
• “S” = String
• “N” = Text

Any other value is treated as “S” (String).

Return value

Boolean. Returns True if the value is set, otherwise False. If the unit isn’t found, the function raises an error.
