Simply put, Attributes are used to attach “labels” to your assets and parts. Rather than using custom fields and cluttering your system, Zoidii employs attributes so your assets, parts, or system files can be linked together. An Attribute could be used in place of make, model, max lifting weight, asset criticality, part criticality, part category, etc. Attributes are typically one to three words.
Attributes can be added to the system in two ways:
- In the settings section
- On the fly when creating or editing an asset or part record, or when editing files in the file manager
1. Procedure to add an Attribute via System Settings
1. In the top navigation bar, click the Settings icon. Then select System Settings.
2. Select Attributes from the System Settings - Asset Settings menu.

4. Fill in the details for the new attribute, and click Save to activate.
