Specify Descriptor Fields

Specify the fields to use in a workspace descriptor.

Every workspace item in Fusion Manage has a descriptor made up of fields selected from the workspace's Item Details tab. For example, a descriptor can consist of an item's number and name. Descriptors are an easy way to quickly identify workspace items. Descriptors appear on the Workspace Page Item Header and as the text for item links throughout the UI.

Note: You can also configure a global descriptor format for all the workspaces on your site. You can use separators like dashes and underscores, and other formatting elements including spaces and leading and trailing characters. For help on configuring the descriptor global format, see General Settings.

Recommendations

Descriptor fields are not dynamic, use the fields which contain the values that are constant in nature.
