Additional Properties allow you to add multiple custom fields that accept specified data types as values.

Custom Implementation Date and Comments Fields Created in the Additional Properties Section

Additional Properties can also be used in other VertiGIS FM products that allow for hierarchical asset management. In VertiGIS FM Buildings, Additional Properties can be created for a building construction group and used to store data on the details pages for building construction components within the group. The steps outlined below are identical when you create Additional Properties for building constructions.

Create an Additional Property

For assets managed with most VertiGIS FM products other than VertiGIS FM Maintenance, you can create an additional property on the Flexible Properties administration page (Administration > Master Data > Flexible Properties).

To Create an Additional Property

1.Navigate to the Flexible Properties administration page by clicking Administration > Master Data > Flexible Properties from any page in VertiGIS FM.

2.Expand the section for the VertiGIS FM product associated with the asset which you want to create the additional property.

3.Double-click the type of asset for which you want to store data using the new additional property.

4.Expand Properties and click the Add () icon.

5.In the Name text boxes for the intended language(s), enter a name for the Additional Property.

6.Click the arrow in the Data Type box, select the type of data that will be captured by the new property, property category, or characteristic value, and click Apply.

7.Optionally, fill in the Position at Form, Unit, Sort Position, Mandatory Field, and Description fields as required.

8.Click Save and Close.

Enter Data in an Additional Properties Section

When you've created additional properties, users on the details page for the asset can add data to them.

Values for additional properties are entered by editing editing the details section for the asset or object. There is no edit button in the Additional Properties section.

To Enter Data in an Additional Properties Section

1.Navigate to the details page forthe asset for which you created the additional property.

2.Ensure the Additional Properties section is visible on the device or component details page. You may need to edit the section authorization and change Additional Properties to Visible.

4.Ensure the Additional Properties section is visible on the form to edit the device or component details page. Again, you may need to edit the section authorization for this page and change Additional Properties to Visible.

5.On the edit form, expand Additional Properties.

6.Fill out the additional properties as required. How each field is filled out varies depending on the data type that was selected for each additional property.

7.Click Save and Close.

The inputs are now shown in the Additional Properties section on the device or component details page.
