ASSET MASTER FIELD LABELS

Use this screen to set up optional location and government field labels that display in the Asset Master and Asset Template subtasks. You can use these fields to record additional information that may be specific to your company but for which there are no system-defined standard fields with the desired labels.

The labels set up in this screen are company-specific and will be available for use only by your company of login. If you have set up multiple companies in Costpoint, you can enter labels in this screen for each company only by using the separate company login for each.

You can enter, edit, view, or use the labels in this screen only for your login company. If you have multiple companies, you cannot view, enter, edit, or use the labels from this screen for any company other than your company of login.

You can use location code field labels to establish up to three additional user-defined location categories, such as "Building," "Room No," "Bin No," and so on. Location code labels automatically display in the Location Info subtasks of the Maintain Asset Template Info and Maintain Asset Master Info screens. In addition, the location labels set up in this screen also display in the Location Groups screen, in which "sets" of location data can be entered to function as location "templates."

You can use government field labels to establish up to 15 additional user-defined categories, such as "Date Last Inv," "Cust Telephone," and so on. Government field labels automatically display in the Government Info subtasks of the Maintain Asset Master Info and Maintain Asset Template screens. You can use "Government" labels for all types of property, including company-owned assets.

Note:  Costpoint automatically provides default labels for each of these fields. As an option, you can overwrite the default label with a label of your choice. It is not a system requirement that you establish different labels for any field in this screen. If you do not choose to define labels, a system default, such as "Location1" or "Govt1," will automatically display, as appropriate, in the data entry screen(s). You may find, however, that data entry is more meaningful when appropriate labels display. You can choose to set up different labels in this screen independently, on a field-by-field basis, as desired.

Although you can establish and change the labels in this screen at any time, you may find it more convenient to decide on the label names before you begin to enter data in the Asset Master or Asset Template screens. To achieve consistency throughout your records, it is preferable for you to plan for and establish as much as possible of this setup data during your initialization procedures.
