Before you create and manage asset attributes, make sure that you complete these tasks.

1. Enable user permissions for attribute definitions and units of measure.
    1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Users, and then select **Profiles**.
    2. Select the relevant profile, and then click **Edit**.
    3. In Tab Settings, select **Default On** for Attribute Definitions and Units of Measure.
    4. In Standard Object Permissions, enable basic access permissions for Attribute Definitions and Units of Measure.
2. Add picklist values for units of measure.
    1. From the object management settings for units of measure, go to Fields and Relationships.
    2. Select **Type** and add picklist values (for example Imperial or Metric).
3. (Optional) Customize the fields to appear in the Asset Attributes related list. In the page layout of the Asset object, select the fields to show.
4. (Optional) Create restriction rules for asset attributes when sharing asset records. The rules prevent sharing confidential asset attributes along with the asset record. From the object management settings for asset attributes, go to Restriction Rules and click **Create New Rule**.
