Creating Attribute Classes
When you want to store the configuration details of an asset, you need to create a list of configuration attributes for that product type. For example, for a Compaq Evo you may be interested in configuration attributes—that is, CPU Speed, Hard Drive Capacity, Memory, and so on. To create a configuration class
- Navigate to the Administration - Product Classes view.
- In the Product Classes list, create a new record and complete the necessary fields.
Some fields are described in the following table.
|
|
Product Class |
Enter a name for the product class |
Locked Flag |
By default this check box is selected |
Locked By |
Example: SADMIN |
- Click the Class Attributes view tab, create a new record and complete the necessary fields.
Some fields are described in the following table.
|
|
Name |
Enter a name for the attribute, for example CPU Speed. |
Attribute Definition |
Select the correct attribute definition, for example Text, Boolean, and so on. If you are required to select one value from a list of values, you should create an Attribute Definition and associate it here. For more information about creating attribute definitions, see Creating Attribute Definitions. |
Default Value (Display) |
If your configurations are standard, add a default value. |
