Attribute
An attribute specifies any kind of data that a customer needs to register for an item that is maintained in Planon. This could be a physical property (such as a color or a dimension), or metadata (such as an item's service date).
In Planon, attributes are free-definable and are available to assets and building elements. In order to use attributes, you must specify an attribute structure composed of:
• Attribute definition options (only for an attribute definition of type Drop-down)
Graphically, this hierarchical structure can be represented as follows:
 | • An attribute set can include as many as 100 attributes. • A single select attribute can have as many as 500 options. |
Restrictions
The following restrictions apply:
• Multiline text definitions cannot exceed 2000 characters (allowed: 100-2000).
| | You can specify the number of characters in the field: multiline/single line definitions > Maximum length. Make sure this field is added to the layout. |
• Single line text definition cannot exceed 250 characters (allowed: 1-250).
| | You can specify the number of characters in the field: multiline/single line definitions > Maximum length. Make sure this field is added to the layout. |
• You can increase but not decrease the value if the definition in use.
• The total set of attribute definitions cannot exceed 7500 bytes.
