How to create passive elements on the Rack View visual overview?

Hi,

I am setting up a Rack View visual overview and intended to add passive elements (aside from the ones being monitored).

I noticed there is a driver for this - Skyline Generic Rack Passive Device Generator - but I am failing to get it to work.

The configuration seems straightforward:

But no passive element shows up on the rack.

Is there any specific requirement to get this driver to work?

Could this driver be outdated for the current version of the Rack View visual overview?

Thank you for the help.

(update 1)

I am reusing a Visio, not sure what version is, but the description is the following:

Hi João,

Please could you let us know what rack view are you using with the Skyline Generic Passive Device Generator driver? I remember that this driver was using with a specific rack overview.

Hi Miguel, I am using a rack view vision that contains the Version Info that I added to the question above (since I cannot post pictures in the comments).
This is reused from another project.

Hi João,
As discussed, the name of the element that is used to generate the passive shapes was hardcoded in the overview. The name of the element was set to ‘Passive Equipment’.
After updating the element name in the DMA, the shapes representing the passive devices were displayed in the rack overview.

Indeed, changing the element on the DMA to the hardcoded name solved the issue.
Thank you Miguel.
