Extend Pages for Assets

Using Application Composer, you can change many items that appear on the pages for assets.

Use Application Composer to modify these pages:

  • Asset list page (includes a summary table of assets)

  • Create Asset page

  • Edit Asset page

These pages are available as subtabs when you drill down from the details pages for these objects:

  • Accounts

  • Contacts

  • Households

Note: Use the Asset object in Application Composer to create custom asset fields.Note that you can't add custom buttons and actions to any page for assets.

Assets List Page

You can modify the Assets list page which displays when you first navigate to the Assets subtab on any Edit Account, Edit Contact, or Edit Household page. For example, you can hide standard asset fields or show custom asset fields.

To modify the Assets list page which appears on the Assets subtab on the Edit Account, Edit Contact, or Edit Household pages:

  1. Navigate to the Account, Contact, or Household object in Application Composer.

  2. Select the Pages node.

  3. On the Application Pages tab, under Details Page Layouts, duplicate the standard layout to create a new layout to edit. Or, edit another existing layout.

  4. Select the Assets subtab to configure which standard and custom fields display at run time.

    Use the Asset object to add custom fields as needed, before you can select them for display on the subtab.

    Tip: The changes you make to the Assets subtab are unique across the Edit Account, Edit Contact, and Edit Household pages. For example, the changes you make to the Assets subtab on the Edit Account page aren't reflected on the Assets subtab on the Edit Contact page.

Create Asset Page

You can modify the Create Asset page which displays when you create an asset from the Assets subtab on any Edit Account, Edit Contact, or Edit Household page. For example, you can hide standard asset fields, make a field required, add a default value, and show custom asset fields. You can also reorder fields and change field labels. To modify the Create Asset page:

  1. Navigate to the Asset object in Application Composer.

  2. Select the Pages node.

  3. On the Application Pages tab, under Creation Page Layouts, duplicate the standard layout to create a new layout to edit. Or, edit another existing layout.

    To enhance runtime usability for your end users, optionally group custom fields into field groups.

Edit Asset Page

You can modify the Edit Asset page which displays when you edit an asset from the Assets subtab on any Edit Account, Edit Contact, or Edit Household page. For example, you can hide standard asset fields, make a field required, add a default value, and show custom asset fields. You can also reorder fields and change field labels. To modify the Edit Asset page:

  1. Navigate to the Asset object in Application Composer.

  2. Select the Pages node.

  3. On the Application Pages tab, under Details Page Layouts, duplicate the standard layout to create a new layout to edit. Or, edit another existing layout.

    To enhance runtime usability for your end users, optionally group custom fields into field groups.
