User Fields

There are five sets of data, by type:

•      Text

•      Number

•      Date

•      Check

•      List fields

Define your organisation specific Defect data; up to 30 of each, by giving labels, or selecting a Picklist:

•      Expand a data type e.g. Text, Check

•      Click in the Label field and give it a name

•      For Lists, select from the available picklists

Things to be aware of:

You can reuse an Attribute Set for more than one Asset Type.  Therefore, Asset Types can be broken up to allow for different valuations but still only have one set of attributes for all the Assets of those types.

Integrity of data can be lost, when changing the Asset Type of an Asset, where the new Asset Type has a different Attribute Set to the old Asset Type.

User Fields are defined for your Asset Type data, to be applied to Assets but are not for global Asset data. There are Global User Fields that can be defined for this in the Options Form. See System Options for details.
