Asset Category Descriptive Flexfield

Set up the Asset Category descriptive flexfield to store additional information based on the asset category.

  • Enter the category code as the reference field to base the descriptive flexfield structure on the value of your Asset Category flexfield.

  • Define your context field values (structure names) to exactly match your concatenated Asset Category Flexfield combinations.

For example, your Asset Category Flexfield combination is BUILDING.OFFICE. You define BUILDING.OFFICE as your context value.

Note: The segment separator, spelling, and case must exactly match your Category Flexfield combination.

You don't need to define a descriptive flexfield structure for each combination of your Asset Category flexfield. Define structures only for those categories in which you want to capture additional information (such as the license number or insurance policy number).

Note: Plan your flexfield carefully. Once you begin entering assets using the flexfield, you can't change it.
