Give your asset a name, unique key (a code similar to what you have for Jira projects). Optionally give description, so everybody know and understand what this asset type is for.

Start adding fields, or asset type attributes to describe your asset type and configure what information and in what format you want to store for your asset type

Fields can be re-arranged by dragging and dropping them in the "Fields" section. The order of fields will define the order you see them when you create assets of this asset type later.

You can set the fields to be required, have explanatory texts via description field or have custom CSS styles


In addition to that you can make your asset type forms much more interactive by defining the rules

There are many rules types you can define: to present the fields the way you like, to apply conditional validations and preset default values. Or to dynamically show/hide the fields based on the values selected/typed in other fields... and a lot more
