Items in this window

Item	Notes
Asset Field	Select the asset field you want to customize. All customizable asset fields are listed here. The attributes of the selected field are displayed on the right.
Tag Field	This field displays the name of the field designated as the Tag field in Sage Fixed Assets – Tracking. This field appears only if the open organization uses Sage Fixed Assets – Tracking.
Last Inventory Date Field	This field displays the name of the field designated as the Last Inventory Date. If you have not yet designated a field as a Last Inventory Date field, "not assigned" appears in this field. This field appears only if the open organization uses Sage Fixed Assets – Tracking.
View	Specify the viewing or entry rights you want to allow users for the selected field.
Title	This field displays the name of the currently selected field. To edit the field, type over the current name. After changing the name of a field, the original name is still displayed in the list of available fields to the left. This option is most often used for the user-defined fields.
Entry Mask	Specify the type of character (such as number or alphanumeric) or how many characters you want to allow users to type in the field. The default number is listed on top of the field; as you change the number of characters, the application tracks the number of characters you are typing. To change the number of characters allowed, type or delete the Xs. See Entry Mask Field.
Default	Type in a default entry for the field. The user can overwrite the default.
Message	Enter a brief explanatory message to appear in the status bar when a user enters the field. For example, if you rename Custom Field 1 to Agency, you might want the prompt to read "Enter the name of the agency in which the asset is located."
Entry Order	Specify the order in which you want the fields to appear in Asset Detail. When changing the entry order of a field, the field previously holding that entry order swaps places with the new field. Example:Suppose you change the field in the 7th position to the 4th position. The field that was in the 4th position will now be in the 7th position.
Activate SmartList?	Select this check box to enable the SmartList Manager button.
[SmartList Manager]	Select this button to display the SmartList Manager window, which allows you to create valid entries for asset fields. A list of valid entries for an asset is called a SmartList. See Creating Valid Field Entries with SmartLists.
[Restore Defaults]	Select this button to restore the default settings for this window. Selecting this button erases all modifications you've made to all the fields.
