Custom Fields

Overview

Custom fields let you record information not covered by default fields — installation site, warranty contact, inverter rating, etc. They are set up by a System Manager and appear on asset forms automatically.

How It Works

Custom fields are grouped into fieldsets. A fieldset is assigned to an asset model — so any asset belonging to that model shows those fields on its form.

  1. Go to AdminCustom FieldsCreate New Field

  3. Set the Field Format:

  5. Click Save

Assigning a Fieldset to a Model

  1. Go to AdminAsset Models
  2. Open the relevant model
  3. Select the Custom Fieldset
