   Note About Float Custom Fields

   For float custom fields, you can control how many digits are displayed after the decimal point across the Axonius system. The default number of digits is 2, but you can set it to be between 1 and 9. For example, if you set the number to 4, a field value such as 98.123436 will be displayed as 98.1234.

   To set the number of digits to display after the decimal point:

   1. Navigate to System Settings → GUI → UI.
   2. Scroll down to the following setting: Set the number of digits to show after the decimal for custom float fields.
   3. Enter a number between 1 and 9.
   4. Click Save.

6. Fill in a value or values in the text box:

   • When the Field Type is Single Value, type a single value in the empty text box. The value is determined by the Value Type.

   • When the Field Type is Multiple Values, in the Add text box, type the list of field values. Press Enter, comma, or semicolon to add another value. You can click the x of a value to remove it, or click a value to edit it.

     

7. Choose how to proceed, as explained in step 4 of Adding or Editing Custom Fields on a Single Asset.

Adding a Custom Date Field

You can add one or more dates in a custom field. This is useful, for instance, to identify the first time an asset was noncompliant. You can add either a Single Value or Multiple Value date field.

To add a new custom date field to the system, when in the Edit Custom Fields dialog:

1. In the Field name box, start typing a name. If a field of that name already exists, it is displayed. Continue to type the full name of the new field, then, at the bottom of the Field list, click New Field Name.

2. In Field Type, select one of the following:

   • Single Value - To add a single date.
   • Multiple Values - To add a list of dates.

3. Under Value Type, select Date.

4. Under Value, add one or more dates:

   • For a Single Value date field: Click Select Date and set the date and time.

   • For a Multiple Values date field: Click Add Date, set the date and time, then click Add Date again, and so on.

5. Click Save or Save & Close.
