Ability to 'nickname' PC's

Customer has many computers with generic names - would be nice to have a field in the device that can be searched to find 'Jennifer' for example or even to add asset tag information.

    I actually do this right now. The computer/endpoint name is recorded by the agent in the "Machine Name" field, but you can change the primary display name by going to that device page and click Edit -> Agent, here you can change the display (or nickname) of the device. If you're worried - this nickname is not the name that is sent to ScalePad or IT Glue if you use those services. In those cases, the Machine Name is what gets sent.

    If that doesn't work for you, you still have the ability to create a custom device field and add the nickname you want there. I haven't tested this, but I imagine these fields are searchable.
