Using Custom Fields

Custom fields allow you to define fields in Rosistem Assets to capture information specific to your needs.  For example, if you want to capture a special code called Widget Code for each asset entered into Rosistem Assets, you can turn on the Edit Field Names function, then create your field on the Custom Fields tab of the New/Edit Asset screen.

Note: Keep in mind that creating custom fields is different from renaming screens/field names.  If you want to rename standard field names in Rosistem Assets (for example, changing the name of the Audit screen to Verify) please refer to the topic Customizing Field Names.

Creating Custom Fields:
 

1.Make sure the Edit Field Names function is turned on in the Options screen.
 

2.Open the Custom Fields tab on any screen that contains that tab.  When the Edit Field Names function is turned on, the fields will appear as shown below:

Tips for creating Custom Numbers and Dates:

Custom Number fields will accept values ranging from -999999999999999.9999 to 999999999999999.9999.

Custom Dates will be displayed in the same format as found elsewhere in the product.
