General Tab

The General tab is used to record basic information about a piece of equipment, including its manufacturer, the operator of the equipment, the department that uses the equipment, and the year the equipment was manufactured. Users can also indicate the priority of a piece of equipment and link it to other assets.

The following fields have special functions:

Field
