Variables/input

[doug]

We have plans for a solution to this problem in a future version of the app. I’m not sure exactly what the timeline for implementation/release is.

As long as I’m not missing anything obvious. 😀

It’d be nice to be able to use a grid column as input, or possibly several.

Implementation will be a tricky thing, I’m sure.

Thanks!

Yes, so currently there is only $computer for local commands, which pulls the host column value. However, in a future version we will likely add the ability to pull from a number of the other columns, such as $notes, $notes2, $description, $location etc. And they would be usable in not only local commands but also remote commands and get info commands.

Oh, did this ever happen?

Actually, coincidentally it’s already been added to the next version, which is coming soon. That is… in addition to $computer the ability to use $notes, $notes2, $location, $category, $description in local command/remote command/getinfo query/deployment.

Is it possible to run a remote command using a “prompted” variable? like Read-Host ….. in powershell?

[doug]

No.
