Requiring the Asset Size Field

You can track the size of certain types of asset, for example if you want to use asset size information when reporting costs from work orders to assets. You can require that users complete the Asset Size field for asset types that belong to the Linear, Node‑Link Linear, and Polygon asset class types.

The asset type you edit or create must belong to the Linear, Node-Link Linear, or Polygon asset class type to require the Asset Size field.

For more information on asset class types, see Working with Asset Class Types.
