Edit an assignment

You can edit an assignment. For example, you do this if you want to add a specific attribute type to assets of a certain type.

Some assignments have assigned attribute types, relation types, or statuses that are not removable. This is because one of our integrations writes data to this item or reads from it.

For example, on the Column asset type’s global assignment, it isn't possible to remove the assigned relation type that links to its table.

If you don’t want this item to be shown on asset pages, you can use the layout editor to ensure that this item isn't shown on the page. However, you can't remove it from the assignment.

Prerequisites

• You have a global role that has the System administration global permission.
