NetInfo
Add a value
¬
When you add a new property to a NetInfo directory, you define it with a property key that has zero or more values. 

You can add more values to a property key at any time. Generally you should add values to accomodate a particular process that requires such a value, although you can add comments for your own use. 

¬
BEFORE YOU START: Most NetInfo property values are stored for use by processes issuing requests for information to function properly. Be sure you understand the requirements of the processes for which you're adding property values, and be careful of your spelling. 
¬
1	Log in as root on any computer on the network.
	If you don't log in as root, you can type the root password if the User Authentication panel appears. 
¬
2	Double-click NetInfoManager in /NextAdmin. 
¬
3	Choose Domain ¬ Open from the NetInfoManager menu, select the domain you want to work with, and click OK.
¬
4	Select the directory that contains the property for which you'll add a value. 
	Use the browser to select a directory in the hierarchy.
¬
5 	Double click the directory and then click the property key you want.
¬
6	Choose Directory ¬ New Value.
	NetInfoManager will create a new value. Re-enter the value you want in the text box below. ¬
7	Close the New_Directory window and save changes.  
	The Save Changes panel will let you cancel or Don't Save if you wish. If you click Save, NetInfoManager adds the new value.  

¬
How Values are displayed 
¬
In the browser view, all values appear as a list in the Values column, with the most recent addition at the end of the list. 

In the table view, each value appears in its own column, with the most recent addition in the last column.

You can select an existing value and choose Insert Value to insert a new value before the selection. Or you can choose Append Value to add the new value after the selection.

You can always select a property and choose Sort Values to reorder its values alphabetically to make inspection easier.
