Asset Attributes Tab

This tab is used to manage the Table Columns used to store the defining characteristics of the Asset Type. These characteristics are called flexible Asset Attributes.

Managing Asset Attributes held within AWLRS, requires careful planning and a basic understanding of how the information is stored.

The Columns available for use as flexible Asset Attributes come from a single Database Table held within Exor. A Database Table basically consists of the following:

A fixed number of vertical columns of data. Each column can contain information relating to a particular characteristic of an Asset Item.
A variable number of horizontal rows, each row containing details of an Asset Item.

Note: If an external table or database view is being used to hold the Asset data, the Attribute Column Names will be validated against the Column names of the external table.

When you press Create Asset View, only the Columns selected for the Asset Type are included, ensuring that only the relevant Columns are displayed when using the Asset Type. The use of these Asset Views is totally transparent.
