Attributes are used to subcategorize Machines or Products. For example, if you want a label on your machines when the same machine is aligned vertically vs. horizontally OR if you have several CNC Machines but they have a different number of axis. Or if your Product has multiple properties such as length, width, density, etc.
Attributes can be found in the System Setup Menu for anyone with System Manager permissions.
- Go to the Setup Menu and find 'Attributes in the System Setup.
- Click 'Add New' in the upper right corner of the 'Attributes' bar.
- Enter a Code.
- Enter a Description.
- Select the Type. Machine or Product.
- Active/ Inactive Checkbox.
- Click 'Save'.
*Now that you have a Machine Type Attribute, you will want to go to your Machine and select that Attribute. Alternatively, you can export your machines, add the attribute to the column labeled attribute and send in to us for reimport.
*The same will go for Products, be sure to assign the attribute to the product.
You'll also find Attributes on several of our Reports filters.
There is a Read/Create/Update API for this Property as well in our Record Areas of the API Documentation.
