Certain asset information fields are common across all assets within NEXGEN. These are the asset information fields. Asset attributes can be configured for all assets in the system or can be class-specific. GIS attributes are shown for GIS assets only.

Asset Attributes
Asset attributes (if applicable) are listed in the zone(s) below the asset info. These attributes can be configured for all assets in the system or can be specific to the asset class or parent class(es). To edit the asset attributes, click Edit on the first asset attribute zone.

GIS Attributes
For GIS assets, GIS attributes are reflected from the GIS database on the asset record in a zone called GIS Attributes. The GIS administrator controls which asset attributes are visible and can be edited by users. Click + Update on the GIS Attributes zone to edit GIS attributes.
