Equipment

Assets - Add - Other Data

An Other Data panel has been added to the New Equipment and Equipment Maintenance screens. The fields in this panel are available to add and track custom data relevant to the selected asset. These fields can hold extra information that is not covered by the static data fields already in this screen. For example, any additional information concerning an asset that a user may wish to keep note of, but that is not default to the system.

Other Data fields are also useful for describing the capabilities or characteristics of an asset. These fields can be re-labelled to suit your company requirements.
