Hi,

It may be a newbie question but how on earth do I create a smart group based on an EA? This is in JSS 9.11 BTW.

I have the EA being populated via a script and can see the info in the inventory, I just cannot work out how to use an EA as criteria for a smart group. I'm clicking "all criteria" but cant find anything that suggests an EA.

Cheers

Andy

Gonna answer my own question here.

After many hours of pain I discovered that once in the database, any extension attributes will EVENTUALLY appear as a selectable criteria item in the All Criteria list. I may be wrong but it didn't seem to happen until at least two machines had populated the new EA via inventory.

A classic easy when you know how.
