Displaying instance level properties on a dashboard

After spending some time trying to display instance level auto properties on an Alert widget on a dashboard, it has just been confirmed to me by Dave Lee that it is not possible and there is currently no way to display instance level properties on a dashboard.

Since auto properties can hold very useful descriptive information detected during active discovery it would be nice to be able to include this on dashboards as additional information.

    Agree with Tim, Also it would be extremely useful to be able to use the ##dsidescription## (datasource instance description) within dashboards, our particular use case is for showing WAN/Firewall Interface descriptions (circuit id's) within table widgets etc, this is something else we cannot currently do.

    I concur!    This would be an AWESOME feature to have!   We could use this feature to display descriptions of the instances on the "Device Component Inventory" datasource.
