General tab

The General tab contains the basic information about the Inventory Item.

The information is organized in the following sections:

Upper untitled section - displays the Inventory Item's name, the text description, and the date when it was "installed" or deployed.

Categorization section - shows the type and category of the Inventory Item. The lists of types and categories are configured by your Alloy Navigator Express administrator.

Ownership Information section - lets you associate the Inventory Item with the Person who is responsible for the Inventory Item and also with their Organization and Location. When the Organization, Owner, or Location field is filled out, you can open the person, organization, or location record correspondingly by clicking the field label that becomes a link.

Unnamed section - displays the Inventory Item's picture. For details on managing the picture, see Adding, changing, or removing pictures for Computers and Inventory Item records.

Identification section - specifies the Inventory Item's serial number.

Product section - specifies the Inventory Item's manufacturer, model, and product name. The Inventory Item's manufacturer can be chosen from the Brands reference table, clicking the Manufacturer link open the selected Manufacturer in a separate window.

The General tab may also display various user-defined fields in an additional section if your Alloy Navigator Express administrator has configured them accordingly. The default name of this section is "Custom Data", although your Alloy Navigator Express administrator may have renamed this section.

NOTE: User-defined fields can appear also on the Custom Data (this is the default name of the tab; it can be renamed by your Alloy Navigator Express administrator).
