Date Format

Extended Options

Depending on how your company uses Field ID there are extended options that you may be want to enable or disable. To modify extended options go to Setup > Settings > System Settings

Asset Assignment

If you track equipment in Field ID that is personally assigned to an employee or contractor and would like to track that ownership in Field ID you will want to enable asset assignment. Other cases where you want to enable Asset Assignment:

• Assign personal responsibility for equipment
• Search for equipment that belongs to a specific person
• Track who check's in and out equipment from your warehouse or tool crib
• Assign a specific asset to a person (employee, customer, contractor)
  

Proof Test Integration

If your company does Proof or Pull Tests and uses any of the following pull test machines you will want to enable Proof Test Integration. This will allow you to upload the generated file from the pull test machine and have Field ID graph the time / force data. Field ID supports:

• Chant
• Roberts Testing (Version 8 & 9)
• Wirop
• National Automation
  

Generate Manufacturer Certificates

If your company manufacturer's products that need a certificate issued and would like Field ID to issue these electronically you will want to enable this. Once enabled each asset type you setup will have the ability to enable or disable having a manufacturer's certificate available.

Capture GPS Data (beta)

When using a Windows Mobile Device with GPS Field ID can capture the GPS Coordinates of where an asset is identified and where an event was completed. To enable GPS Capture go to Setup > Settings > System Settings.

Enabling GPS Capture will tell your mobile devices to try and capture GPS coordinates for all assets added on the mobile and all events completed. If GPS information is recorded you will see it both on the asset profile page and when viewing the completed event.

Identifier Format & Overrides

Each asset added to Field ID must have a primary identifier. This identifier by default is called a Serial Number. You have the option of changing the name and format of the primary identifier as well as setting up overrides for specific asset types. To get started to to Setup > System Settings > Settings and look for Identifier Format

Primary Identifier Format

The primary identifier is the default that you see throughout your account. This is the label that you will see when adding new assets and performing Asset, Reporting or Schedule searches. the primary identifier should cover the most common case on what you would like use as your primary identifier.

Overrides

In some cases you may be tracking another asset type that requires a different identifier label or format. For example, if you primary are using Field ID for equipment but would like to track employee certificates as well you may want to have the primary identifier for employee by Employee Name instead of Serial Number. To do this click on the Create Identifier Overrides link.

You will see a list of all Asset Types you have setup in your Field ID account. Click the checkbox of the Asset Type you would like to create an override for. Enter a new Label and Auto-Generated Format. Now when adding a new Employee to your Field ID account you will be prompted to enter the Employee Name instead of the Serial Number.
