Add an attribute

An attribute adds to a resource a piece of data that the record’s fields do not cover: the load capacity of a forklift, the floor area of a workplace, the power of a machine. It is made of a name, a unit of measure and a value. See Material resources.

Attributes are available on workplaces, equipment, substances, PPE and PPE inventory entries, and also on offices and people.

Add a standard attribute

Standard attributes are a predefined list, with name and unit of measure already set, for example a capacity in litres or a volume in dm³.

1. Open the resource and choose the Attributes tab.

2. Open the New menu in the toolbar and choose Add standard attribute.

   

3. In the Select standard attribute window, choose the attribute. Code, name, description and unit of measure are filled in.

4. Enter the Value and save.

Add a custom attribute

When the attribute is not among the standard ones:

1. In the Attributes tab, open the New menu and choose Add custom attribute.

   

2. In the Attribute window, enter the Name, the Unit of measure and the Value, all required, and the Code and Description if needed.

3. Save.

The Value field accepts the type of data expected by the chosen unit of measure.
