Is there a way to get DCE to pull "location" name instead of "label" when it sends an email alert and inserts into from field.

I don't think that's possible to change the DCE ' from ' email field to use device location, leaving this as comment for others to add their thoughts.

Some work around to consider:

1. Assuming devices monitored are snmp devices, set hostname for the device label, and use device naming convention that include location e.g SG-DC-UPS01 etc
2. Use short message email, and add location Macros in the email subject / content.
