How can we improve the SMA?

Custom Inventory - add support for brackets to allow ANDs and ORs in the order I need them

Currently using both ANDs and ORs in the same custom inventory rule is unsupported according to the documentation. I was told that they are evaluated from left to right rather than using the normal rules of precedence. This would be particularly handy when you are trying to detect a program whose file might be in more than one location (especially c:\program files\ and c:\program files (x86)).

    Yes this would be very helpful especially since I'm supporting x86 and x64 environments that have different locations for Program files directory.

    Also need support for NOT. Such as: rule 1 AND NOT rule 2.

    I agree. Being able to use AND and OR in the same rule with allow for better custom rules. I've had situations where this would've been very handy!
