[help customizing device symbols with a serial number (or other data) editable via object info]

Hello everyone.

 

I am looking to be able to add a piece of text (in this case a serial number) to a device on the schematic drawing along with where the device name and description are by default, and have this information be editable from OIP.

 

What I currently do is, after a device has been placed on the schematic layer, assign a custom record format to the device that has a field for a serial number and then edit each individual device to have a text box linked to that record field.

 

What I tried was: assigning this record to the default basic device layout and then linking text to the field from the record, but it seems as this is not possible because I have no option to link text.

 

I am wondering if there is a way to make this easier. I only need to add SN labels the servers my company installs so it only needs to apply to device symbols taken from my user folder if that helps, although it would be nice to be able to add a serial number (or maybe an IP address??) to other devices too.

 

Let me know if I am missing anything or if you can think of a way to do this. Attached a photo of what I am trying to accomplish. Thanks in advance.

Hi, 2023

 

I believe the edit socket dialogue. The one that is new in 2023 that allows you to quickly edit them (already a great new feature, just wondering if it is possible to delete them like that as well). 

 

Thanks

Don't know if this is possible and I have missed it already, but is it possible to delete a socket from a device in the socket editor? If not, I would love for this feature to exist it would help a lot in my world (custom media servers that have components added/subtracted frequently)

 

Thanks in advance 🙂

I also might be missing it if it is a feature that already exists, but I also very frequently run in to this issue and being able to change the numbers would be a huge improvement for me and my work as well.
