Adding a custom field to NMIS is accomplished by modifying /usr/local/nmis8/conf/Table-Nodes.nmis. Notice that this file contains a hash with a Nodes section. For this example we will add a Country field. Several fields may be added if required. Put the new field between the 'extra_options' entry and the 'advanced_options' entry. Observe the new country field in the code block below.
