Custom fields are a powerful tool in Redlist that allows users to capture specific information about their asset's components. These custom fields can be applied to all asset components in a user's account, or they can be applied to specific component types. To create custom component fields:

Step 1: Click on "Assets" then select "Assets"

Step 2: Click on the "Asset Components" Tab

Step 3: Access the Component Custom Fields Page

Step 4: Click on "Create Custom Field"

Step 5: Enter a name for the custom field

Step 6: Indicate whether or not the field is a required field

Step 7: Optional - Select Component Types

If this custom field only needs to apply to specific component type, select the "Show on components with selected component types" button. Then add asset types that this custom field will be added to.

Step 8: Choose a field type

If "dropdown" is selected, add dropdown options.

Note - the order that the options will be shown in the dropdown can be changed by clicking and dragging the tiles button to the desired position.

Step 9: Click "Create"

Creating custom fields for components in Redlist allows users to capture specific information about their components, tailored to their unique needs. By adding custom fields, users can track specific details that are not included in the default fields provided by Redlist.
