Modifying Custom Field Names

Custom field names allow you to change the Site, Department, and Location column heading names that appear in the Group and Unit Selector panes in the Remote Console Switch Software. This allows you to group Remote Console Switches and servers in ways that are meaningful to you. The Department field is a subset of Site. If you customize these field names, you should keep this hierarchy in mind.
