(Already exists) Add the description in each node (or part of the description)

[mr-E]

Will there be a way to append the description in the nodes (maybe at least 20 or 30 characters) using a small font?
I understand that space is quite scarce, but:

Our host names are somewhat "cryptic":

• WYYMM[A-Z] indicating that it is a windows machine purchased in the year, month and consecutive letter.
• Depto##, or the area of the equipment and a sequential letter

We have added descriptions in each MeshCentral node which allows us to locate them from the filter; but it would be very useful to see part of that description in each node in the "My Devices" list.
Then we could quickly do a search within the browser and locate it quickly.

Thank you for taking it into consideration!

If you click the list view icon (top right) you will then get a cog you can click and select description which might be helpful

But I believe in the icon view, it currently doesn't display the descriptions

Hey! that's pretty cool. That will help me a lot.
Thank you!

You can also go in to a device and click on the Device name. A box will pop up where can change the name of the device to whatever you want. I name our devices very similarly to how you are wanting. Such as in this screen grab. The actual device names are the CCPAASC... and the - personname is what I add to identify who that device is assigned to.

That's great...
But, the strange thing is that (being an administrator) I can only edit the "server-side device name" in some groups, but not in all:

I think the cause is this option, It was enabled in my groups. I will disable it; I hope without consequences. 🤞

Edit:
Yes, that activates the trick to edit the device name. Thank you!
