What are attributes?
Assets is included with Service Collection Paid plans (Standard, Premium, and Enterprise). What Assets is and how it works.
Display name is currently restricted to customers enrolled in the Beta trial of the Assets common data model. Some details may change before general availability.
Attributes in Assets are specific details linked to objects, such as descriptions, model numbers, related objects, or assigned owners.
An attribute has its own Name (the system identifier that AQL uses) and a Display name (the name shown to users in Assets). This is separate from the default object Name attribute.
Attributes can store various data types, including text, numbers, statuses, and object references. They can also be customized for specific needs, such as postcodes, string patterns, object types, or mandatory values. Learn more about different attribute types
Default attributes
Every object includes five default attributes:
Display name - is the name shown to users in Assets. Assets derives the system Name from it; you can edit either independently.
Name - is created by default. You can rename an object to make it unique or set a different attribute as the label. Learn more about setting unique values
Key - is a unique identifier based on the object schema key and unique integer. Keys cannot be changed and may not always be sequential.
Created - shows the date and time the object was created. This attribute cannot be changed.
Updated - shows the date and time the object was last modified. It updates automatically when the object or its attributes change.
