Amend Asset details fields

[lee mcdermott]

Hi

Is there the ability in Hornbill to change\amend or add new fields  for assets, so that we can add extra details, or replace info are names of fields?

 

thanks

New fields have to be requested to Hornbill.

We use Translations to change the field names for those that we have no use for. It makes it a bit more complicated as the underlying DB names remain the same. However with some careful management it works for us.

Hi @Frank Reay

Where do you find the ability to add field translations in the asset management section please?

Sorry if I've missed something obvious!

Thanks!

[Frank Reay]

Under Configuration/Service Manager/Translations. And then lots of searching to find where the name appears that you want to change.

Or, if you have the correct Roles, open Translation Mode from the User Menu (click on your Icon top right and select Start Translation Mode)

Ah that's really useful. I didn't know we could do that!

Thanks

Hi steve

I cannot find how to do this?  -  if you have the correct Roles, open Translation Mode from the User Menu (click on your Icon top right and select Start Translation Mode)

 

is this from within the admin section first?

You can be on any screen. Do you see this in the top right when you click on your user Menu (3rd item down 'Start Translation Mode' is what you want to click on).

@Frank Reay ah right I see yes I see that now thanks.
