Create asset attributes only for active attribute definitions. If an attribute definition is deactivated, all asset attributes associated with it become unavailable.
- From the App Launcher, find and select Assets.
- Click the relevant asset record and open the Related tab.
- Click New.
- Select an attribute definition. Only active attribute definitions are shown.
- Enter a value for the asset attribute. The asset attribute value is required if designated as Required in the attribute definition you selected. Otherwise, if you don’t enter a value, the attribute definition’s default value is used. If the attribute definition is of type picklist, the Display Value field of Attribute Picklist Value is used when displaying picklist values.
- Save the asset attribute.
