Contributors

The Environment annotation is a custom annotation for associating assets with their respective environmental location or use, for example, Lab, R&D, Production, etc. By creating the Environment annotation and setting it onto these assets, you can easily find, filter and report on your Lab assets separately from your Production assets, for example.

Steps:

  • Select Manage > Annotations.

  • Click the +Add button at the top of the page.

  • For Name, enter ‘Environment'.

  • For Description, enter ‘Asset environment type'.

  • For Type, select List. New fields are displayed for you to create your list.

  • For now, leave Add new assets on the fly unchecked. You will check this on if you want to be able to add new Environments to the list of choices at the same time you are associating them with assets.

  • Enter the Name and Description of your first environment.

  • Click +Add and do the same for your other environments.

  • When finished, click Save.
