Create asset attributes only for active attribute definitions. If an attribute definition is deactivated, all asset attributes associated with it become unavailable.

1. From the App Launcher, find and select **Assets**.
2. Click the relevant asset record and open the Related tab.
3. Click **New**.
4. Select an attribute definition. Only active attribute definitions are shown.
5. Enter a value for the asset attribute. The asset attribute value is required if designated as Required in the attribute definition you selected. Otherwise, if you don’t enter a value, the attribute definition’s default value is used. If the attribute definition is of type picklist, the Display Value field of Attribute Picklist Value is used when displaying picklist values.
6. Save the asset attribute.
