Custom Field Type

 

Select a Custom Field type. You can select from:

  • Picklist Multiselect: You can select more than one value from the available options while applying this type of Custom Field.

  • Picklist: You can select only one value from the available options while applying this type of Custom Field.

  • Number: The value will be in numerical form. Use this field type if you wish to add a phone number, employee ID, etc.

  • Date: A calendar will pop up while applying a date type custom field, for example, purchase date, complaint date, completion date, etc.

  • Text Multi: This is like a multipicklist, but you do not define any values when you create this custom field. You can create options on the go when using it for any asset.

  • Text Area: This is the same as text but can hold more length than text.

  • Text: This field allows you to add text details, i.e. Name, Customer ID, Description, etc.
    When editing a Custom Field, you may change Picklist to Picklist Multiselect and from Text to Text Multi.

Note:

Within the multi picklist custom fields, we have added the “select all” option that will allow you to apply all the CFs values instead of adding them one by one individually.

Enablement note:
