Overview

The Product Type-Specific Custom Asset Attributes feature allows administrators to configure which custom asset attributes are displayed based on an asset's product type. This means you can create more targeted and relevant asset forms by showing only the attributes that matter for specific types of products.


Benefits

  • Streamlined asset attributes: Users only see fields relevant to the asset they're working with
  • Reduced clutter: Eliminates unnecessary fields based on product context
  • Better data quality: Users focus on completing relevant attributes
  • Greater flexibility: Configure attributes to appear across multiple product types as needed

Users: Viewing Product Type-Specific Attributes

When working with assets, you'll notice:

  • Custom attributes will only appear on asset forms if they match the asset's product type
  • If you change an asset's product type, the visible attributes will automatically update
  • Required fields are still mandatory, but only if they're configured for the current product type
