I'm probably just not seeing it, but I only see this level of capability at the device level and even there its not where I think it needs to be.
Let me put it another way, What I would love is a special console view where I can see what has been tweaked, vs. whats inherited, vs whats standard for a given object. The best example I can think of, which still doesn't completely solve the problem is Microsoft's ACL structure. If I open an NTFS folder, I can instantly see things that were explicitly added to the folder, things that are inherited (and where its inherited from), and things that are just defaults. It's doesn't show things below, which is why I said its not a complete help.
In your case, I would like to see eiather a specical view, or a special console that would sort of give me a similar birds eye view that I could drill into. For example, our group tree structure works like this. Location\Vendor\Product\various product groups\sub-product groups if needed. In this example, I would want to be able to
- - Click on "location" and see all setting that have been tweaked below. Thresholds, disabled datasources/instances, SDT's, etc.
- - Click on product group "a" and see all settings that have been tweaked at this level, all settings that are inherited from a parent (indicating that they're inherited), and again any setting that are defined below this group. Either explicitly on a device or a device group.
