Change Display Address for Locations

The current Display Address is not very valuable for me, as they only show the host/user and you can have a lot of Locations with the same host/user.

In Link 2 it was the Folder Name, but you did not know of the user. Slightly better, but not perfect.

The easy solution would just be to use the Name as Display Address, because you can then give them what ever name makes sense for you. Or a more advanced one - let us choose what field (or combination of fields) that should result in the Display Address.

    Hi Nicolai,

    The main issue I had with it, was when looking at the Tracking overview. The default value of "Destination Address" was different from Link 2, since Link 2 showed the folder, but Link 3 only showed the host address/username.

    But I just found out, that the "Interchange Out Port Name" now has a value on my documents in Link 3, which they didnt have in Link 2, and that Port Name is actually the Name of the location. So If i just add that column to the overview I actually get my desired result.

    So my issue is solved, and I learned something new. Thx for being the "rubber duck" in this case :D

    Hi Jon.

    Thank you for contributing! :-)

    I believe that I understand your point about the display address being invaluable when different locations look the same in the display address.

    I'm not sure I understand your suggestion about using the Name as Display Address. You already have the Name column in the data grid (se screenshot).



    So how would it help to set the Display Name = Name?

    I probably misunderstand - can you please clarify?
