You can create and configure custom fields on an asset record or work order using the Custom tab. Custom fields help track additional data that are industry or asset-specific, etc.
A custom field has the following editable properties:
- Name: How the field is referred to in the Fiix database. This is not displayed on the asset record or work order.
- Label: The label for the custom field that is actually displayed on the asset record or work order.
- Type: The type of field, which determines the format of information that you enter in the field. See the section below for more information.
- (Asset-only, optional) Asset category: If specified, the custom field will be displayed on all assets belonging to the selected category instead of just the current asset record.
- You can also select Also apply this field to all child categories to display the field on assets in the specified category's child categories as well.
In the above example, the field's name is custom_field_A, the label is Custom Field A, and it allows for one line of text. It is also displayed on all equipment and any assets belonging to its child categories. On the asset, this custom field is displayed as the following:
By default, existing custom fields are displayed in the Custom tab, but you can move them to different locations on the record.
