The General tab is used to record additional information about an asset. Here, you can record who owns and who maintains the asset as well as the asset's dollar value, life expectancy, and finance codes. There are also fields that document a location using GPS coordinates. You are not required to record GPS coordinate data in these fields, particularly if you use a geodatabase to maintain this information. These fields are only provided for your convenience. Other fields related to maps and drawings are available for your specific documentation needs.
