How do I customize a category and fields?

Categories group assets together that are of similar type. This guide will explain how to customize your Reftab account to track any type of asset you need. For example, if you wanted to track 3-D printers, you would create a category called “3-D Printers” and then add fields. Fields are the individual attributes you want to track on each asset.

Adding New Fields

 Click “Add Field

Add Field to Category

 Then, create a new field for each field you need stored on your assets: 

Field name and type

Note: you’ll want to use different field types to match the type of data. For example, a field to store Date of Purchase would use a field type of “date”.

Once all your fields are saved, you drag them to the right side under “Show these fields” and click “Save Category” 

Next, when you add or edit assets within the category, all your chosen fields will be available for you to store data:
