Patching Requirements for Company Devices
The example below shows the custom field tab for an organization in NinjaOne. It takes information from the policy page and provides that data to users who may not have access to view policy information, in addition to providing contact information and a user guide. This is a great way to collect data from different places in NinjaOne or from internal company logs and combine it all on one page.
