Can you add custom fields to asset records in DPAS 1020?

• A. Not at all
• B. Only for administrators
• C. No, only predefined fields exist
• D. Yes, depending on configuration, you can add user-defined fields with validations and mappings.

Answer: (D)

DPAS 1020 supports extending asset records with user-defined fields when the system is configured for customization. This means administrators can define additional fields, choose data types, set validation rules (such as required fields, numeric ranges, or specific date formats), and map those fields to data in external systems or to other DPAS fields to maintain consistency. This capability lets you tailor asset data capture to your program’s needs—for example, adding a field for a manufacturer lot number or a maintenance due date with proper constraints. The availability of these custom fields depends on how your DPAS instance is configured and who has the right permissions; if customization isn’t enabled, you’d be limited to predefined fields, but with the proper configuration you can add user-defined fields with validations and mappings.
