Create Menu - Asset - Object

This page describes the 'Object' function on the Create menu in the Asset record window. If you are using iOS or Android, the 'Object' function is on the + menu.

---

If you need to create Tags/Objects that are specific to each Asset record, there are two methods that you can use:

  1. You can have a Tag/Object created automatically whenever you save an Asset record for the first time. To use this method, select the Automatically create Tag/Object on Asset option in the Account Usage Assets setting.

  2. After saving an Asset record, you can create a Tag/Object by selecting this 'Object' function from the Create menu (Windows/macOS) or + menu (iOS/Android).
In both cases, the new Tags/Objects will be assigned to the Asset record automatically, in addition to any Tags/Objects that are already there. The existing Tags/Objects will not be overwritten.

The Inventory Number of the Asset will be used as the Code of the new Tag/Object. For example, Tag/Object 001 will be created from Asset 001.

If you need the new Tag/Objects to be assigned to a Tag/Object Type, specify that Tag/Object Type in the Tag/Object Type field in the Account Usage Assets setting. If you have specified a Start String in the Tag/Object Type, it will be included in the Codes of the new Tags/Objects. If you have specified a Length (maximum numbers of characters) in the Tag/Object Type, take care that it is sufficient for Tag/Object Codes to be constructed from the Start String and Inventory Numbers.
