Assets - User Defined Fields Tab

Access this tab using Maintain>Fixed Assets>Assets.

Use this tab to enter asset data for any user defined fields. These fields were previously created and assigned characteristics by the Administrator using the Organization>Set Up User Defined Fields - Setup Tab. Once fields have been created, the system automatically creates the User Defined Fields tab. Otherwise, the Asset form is available, but without the tab and any user defined fields.

Display Name: The system displays the name that was assigned to this field. This name cannot be edited here, but it can be changed by the Administrator using the Organization>Set Up User Defined Fields>Setup tab.

Value: Enter the data for this user defined field. Currency user defined fields follow the formatting of the organization's functional currency. This field is required for new codes if the "Required" check box was selected when the field was created.

When entering data in the Value column, you must adhere to the pre-defined settings, such as field type, length, and decimal places. For example, if the field was set up with a field type of Number, you cannot enter alphabetic characters for that field.

To print the data entered on this form, use Reports>Fixed Assets>Assets.
