Title: DCI Summary Tables treat string objects as numbers
Post by: BillLortz on June 21, 2016, 07:43:18 PM
We often use the DCI Summary tables feature to summarize configuration information.   For numeric data, the summary tables often try to simplify the way large numbers are displayed.   A number like 192123456 will be shown as 192 M.   Unfortunately for us, it treats string fields that look like numbers as numbers.   In our case, we are collecting the serial number of a licensing hasp.    That serial number is 9 digits long and is entirely numeric.    We would like to see the entire serial number.

Is there a way of treating a string object as a string and not trying to simplify the number?    Or is there a way of temporarily turning off the simplification feature for all numbers?

We are on Version 2.0.3 of netXMS

Sounds like a bug.

But you can turn if off - right click and uncheck "Use multipliers".

Thanks for the workaround.   

It does seem to me that it is a bug.   But, I can use the workaround for now.  Fortunately, that workaround also affects the export to Excel.
