    Custom Category Fields

    Categories support custom fields so you can extend the asset or subscription to hold more details. For example maybe a category is a fleet of vehicles and you want to create a new field to hold odometer readings. Or you have a subscription for internet service providers and you need a field to hold the account pin code.

    You can create as many fields as you want for a category. The field types that you can create are text field, number, date, checkbox, Yes/No/NA slider, and phone number. You can also mark if these fields are required so every new asset or subscription will require you to enter data in that field.
