  6. Complete the following fields:
    • Tag IDs - Each asset can have one or many tag IDs.
      • You can type a new tag ID in the text field and then move it into the list box using the << button. If you try to add a tag ID that already exists, a message is displayed.
      • To edit a tag ID, select it from the list, click the >> button, and modify it. Then, move it back into the list box using the << button.

Values for key instance properties are mandatory. The values that you specify must be unique to identify the asset. Key properties are displayed in the order of their definitions. Instance properties that are mandatory are also marked with an asterisk (*). For those properties, you must specify a value, but you can modify the value after saving it.
