Extended Field Configuration

You can design your own fields (extended fields) and add them to objects. Extended fields are additional fields to help ensure that you capture all data in your repository that is critical to the asset management program at your site. If you are not able to find an appropriate field in your repository to store key data, define an extended field for the data.

You can define extended fields for models, assets, legal documents, contacts, companies, organizations, locations, and sites. You can use extended fields when searching and for reports.

Important! Extended fields are shared with the products integrating with CA APM (CA Service Desk Manager and CA Service Catalog). Therefore, any changes made to the extended field values in the integrating products are immediately reflected in CA APM. And, any changes you make to the extended field values in CA APM are reflected in the integrated products.
