Hi everyone!
Long time listener, first time idea poster!
I had an idea about for the Assets feature. I apologise if I have overlooked something here but it would be great if we could centralise / globalise Asset’s Custom Fields
Current Approach
My understanding is that custom fields are only able to be defined at the individual each asset type. This means users may knowingly or unknowingly create duplicate custom fields for the same attribute multiple asset type (e.g Calibration Dates)
Impact
- Cause the asset register view column selection to be ‘bloated’
- Cause duplication and inconsistent reporting + data exports
Feature Request
- Provide a centralised area for users to manage ‘global’ custom fields to help with standardisation + data validation + minimise duplications
- Enabling users to assign custom fields to required asset types (via matrix or dropdown tick box)
- Whilst I recognise there is a bulk upload engine which is awesome, consider providing other field types (choice, look up) to help improve data validation / management
Thanks for considering my suggestion
John
