Manage product fields

Product fields define data that may be relevant for all the assets of that product type. These fields appear on each asset of this product type, so that the fields can be filled in as asset metadata.

Product fields are only available for inventory products.

Example product fields

For example: a product Lawnmower might be associated with fields blade size and horsepower. If assets with serial numbers MOW-101, MOW-102, and MOW-103 are associated with the Lawnmower product, the company can configure each serial number with appropriate metadata (such as 21" blades and 5 horsepower).

Some common use cases for product fields to define asset metadata:

• Revision

• Hardware version

• Firmware version

• Software version

• Brand/OEM

• Model number

• Color

• Source
