Use custom fields to organize computers in LogMeIn Central

The custom fields feature extends computer property information and integrates with your computer list seamlessly. Assign data of your choice to the computers you manage to find and sort them easier, or to add descriptive information.

Example: Some examples of what you can achieve

Find computers by location

  • You receive an alert for a computer that you maintain for a large organization. Find its location in the building with a quick search.
  • You receive alerts for multiple computers that they suddenly went offline. Location data reveals whether the issue is location-specific.

Sort computers by service status

  • Track and prioritize your maintenance backlog using service status information.

Add to-dos

  • Keep your action items in a central place and follow up to-dos efficiently.

Assign custom data

  • Looking for the phone extension of a workstation? Look it up in a custom field in your computer list.

How to Define Custom Fields

The custom fields feature extends computer property information and integrates with your computer list seamlessly. Assign data of your choice to the computers you manage to find and sort them easier, or to add descriptive information.

  1. On the Computers page, select above your computer list.
    Remember: Custom fields are visible only in Detail View.

    Result: The Custom Fields dialog is displayed.

  2. Enter a name for the field and select Add new field.
    Each field presents the following options:
    Option Description
    Visibility

    To show or hide a field in the computer list, select visible or hidden.

    Delete

    To remove a field, select the Delete icon.

    Important: Assigned field values are permanently lost.

    Result: Changes are saved instantly.

What to do next:

You are now ready to assign custom data to your computers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I hide custom fields from invited users?
While editing custom fields, you can make them hidden. This way, your users will not see custom fields but will still be able to search the content of such fields. When a user has the Enable LogMeIn Central permission granted, they will still be able to manage (unhide, edit, or delete) hidden custom fields.
Can I block users from updating or deleting custom fields?
Yes. When you remove the Enable LogMeIn Central permission from your invited users, they will not be able to view or edit custom fields on the Computers page.

How to Assign and Work with Custom Data

The custom fields feature extends computer property information and integrates with your computer list seamlessly. Assign data of your choice to the computers you manage to find and sort them easier, or to add descriptive information.

Remember: To assign custom values to a computer, you must first define custom fields. For details, see How to Define Custom Fields. You can also use custom fields to achieve the same goal as nested grouping (groups within groups) would.
  1. On the Computers page, select once in a custom field column.
    Remember: You can edit field values only in Detail View.
  2. Edit or delete computer-specific data.
    • Enter a value and select to assign it to the computer.
      Tip: When you start typing, LogMeIn Central brings up a list of recently assigned values for the field.
    • Clear the contents of a field to delete a value.

    Result: Changes are saved instantly.

Results:

New to custom fields? Try the following:

Sort the computer list
Select the header of a custom field column to sort the computer list.
Find computers
Use the Search box above your computer list to find computers by a specific custom field value.
Display relevant information
When your computer list starts to become cluttered, you can show or hide custom field columns as you would with other properties using the column selector in the header bar.
