4.3 Best practice: Use the Author attribute
Many NNMi configuration forms include the Author attribute.
As you use these forms to create or modify configurations, set in the Author attribute a value that identifies your organization. When you export the NNMi configuration, you can specify an author value to pull only those items that your organization has customized.
When you upgrade NNMi, the installer does not overwrite any configurations whose author value has been set by the user.
