​

Add a custom field

1. Go to Device > Settings > “Edit fields” and click New input field in the upper right.
2. In the “Create custom input field” dialog, enter a field name and select a data type.

   Data type	Description
   Text	Enter text.
   Date	Enter or select a date from the calendar. For CSV imports, use the format YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY/MM/DD.
   Number	Enter a number. Non-numeric input is not allowed. For CSV imports, entering a non-numeric value will display an error.
   Dropdown	Set any options you want. Use line breaks to add multiple options. Note that blank lines will cause an error.

   
3. A confirmation message appears and the field is registered.

​

Edit a custom field

If you created a custom field with the “Dropdown” data type, use this procedure to add or change its options later.

1. Go to Device > Settings > “Edit fields” and click the Edit (wrench icon) in the Actions column.
2. In the “Edit custom attribute” dialog, add or edit options and click Apply.

​

Delete a custom field

If you created a custom field with the “Dropdown” data type, use this procedure to delete it later.

1. Go to Device > Settings > “Edit fields” and click Delete in the Actions column.
2. The “Confirm attribute deletion” dialog appears. Review the message and click Delete.
3. A confirmation message appears and the deletion is complete.

​

Adjust management fields per device type

Adjust management fields by device type: PC, PHONE, and OTHER. This handles cases such as:

• You want to track purchase price for PC, but not for PHONE or OTHER.
• You want to hide the warranty period field across all device types at once.

​

Hide a field

Click the 👁 icon to hide the field across all device types at once. Uncheck “PC/Phone/Other” to hide the field for that device type. Checking it again makes the field visible. Unchecking a checkbox hides the field on the “Register new device,” “Device list,” and “Device details” screens.

​

Show a hidden field

A field hidden using the 👁 icon can be shown again by clicking the 👁 icon. Check the “PC/Phone/Other” display checkbox to show the field again.

​

Change the device display name

Set any attribute to appear as the “Device name” in the device list. You can display identifiable information such as an asset number, hostname, or serial number.

1. Go to Device > Settings > “Edit fields” and click Display name settings in the upper right.
2. In the “Display name settings” dialog, select the attribute to display from the dropdown, then click Apply.
3. Click Apply on the “Edit fields” screen. If you close the screen with Cancel (lower right) or × (upper right), the settings will not be applied.
4. The settings are applied. The selected attribute now appears as the “Device name” in Device > Device list.
