Edit observation attributes

You can view a list of observation attributes associated with an observation type to see what attributes belong to a particular observation type. You can also edit certain fields of the attribute that is associated with the condition assessment.

Notes:

After you create an observation type, you cannot change it. However, you can change its display order and enable display flags.

The only way to change the name of an observation type attribute is to remove the attribute type and create a new one. You can add or remove attributes from a condition assessment type or from an observation level. To make an attribute inactive, use the Attribute list screen.

To edit an observation attribute

From the Administration menu, select Assets > Condition assessment.
Select the Condition assessment link you want to view.
Select the Observation attribute tab.
Find and select the Attribute name you want to edit.
Make changes to the following Attribute detail fields, as desired:
- Display order
  
  Note: The display order field determines where the attribute fields display on the observation details tab in the Condition assessments page.
  
  Example: Display position 1 starts on the upper left, position 2 is on the upper right, position 3 is on the left. The fields continue alternating left and right down the screen.
- Value required flag
- Searchable flag
- Display status
Select Save.
