Introducing Custom Field Linking to Categories

In asset management, not all fields are relevant for every category. For instance, a laptop has a MAC address, but a chair does not. This can lead to cluttered and inefficient asset tracking, making it difficult to find the information you need quickly. Our users have been asking for a way to tailor their custom fields to specific categories, and we're happy to deliver.

At Shelf, we're committed to providing the best asset management infrastructure for our users. We understand that every organization has unique needs, and that's why we're excited to announce a new feature that addresses a common pain point: linking custom fields to categories.
