FieldSet

A FieldSet is a group of Custom Fields, FieldSets are assigned at the Asset Model level.

For example, you want to track your phone Assets. You could create custom fields “IMEI“, “SIM“, “OS“, etc which are not covered by default.

You would then assign all of those mobile phone related fields to a new “Mobile Phones“ FieldSet, and use it for your mobile phone asset models (iPhone, feature phones, Android phone, etc)

In order to manage FieldSets, go to Settings → Custom Fields.

Here you can see a list of all the FieldSets. You can create new ones, search, export, and edit or delete existing ones

Custom Field validation

AssetIT has pre-defined all the possible formats for your custom fields. When creating/editing a custom field, just select a format that matches your field the most.

Following is a list of pre-defined format:

Format	Description
`ANY`	No input validation. Any text is acceptable.
`ALPHA`	The field under validation must be entirely alphabetic characters.
`ALPHA-DASH`	The field under validation may have alpha-numeric characters, as well as dashes and underscores.
`NUMERIC`	The field under validation must be numeric and limited to 9 numbers.
`ALPHA-NUMERIC`	The field under validation must be entirely alpha-numeric characters.
