Specifications for Classification
The Specifications section lists all specifications defined for this classification. You can list highly quantifiable specifications that must be measured and assessed and purely descriptive specifications, such as color or type. All specification records are automatically added to any newly created asset of this classification.
Associating a specification with assets makes it easy to add the specification to a work order as a task, as a Specifications for Asset/Location filter is available from the Task lookup.
