To know more about creating Asset Management categories on the FORM BUILDER page, see Configuring Asset Category Using Form Builder.

    Note:

    Ensure that the same Unique Reference Field value is not repeated for one category. But select the same Unique Reference Field value, if the reference type is same. For example, you have selected Active for reference (core company). You have to select  Active wherever it asks to specify the value for reference (core company).
