Door Hardware, Adding Categories to Hardware Set

[Matt Hall]

I am trying to make use of the Hardware sets as part of Door Styles.

 

To really use the Hardware set I need to include some items that are not part of the standard options. Example, weather striping or card readers.  These could be dumped into the notes area but it would be nice to be able to include them in a proper format

 

The next step would be to format the groups with the items stacked 

(rather than like a schedule where the items are all in one line (

this seems to be the default

I don't think you can add additional fields to this dialog box.

An alternate approach is to attach a custom record with the data fields you need and use those to report on the hardware sets.  You can combine data from the default PIO data and the custom record if you want.

Thanks for the reply 

i recall many years ago adding a field to an object but I do not recall the circumstances,  Your probably correct that we cant customize the hardware, it seems very locked down.

 

I did however have the same idea as EFA and added the field via a record.  It does work but adds a second step, that makes if feel a bit fussy.  just have to try it out to see how it works in a team setting.

 

also used a legend to format the hardware groups the way wanted.

 

Thanks for the input 

I can move ahead with this but if feels a bit like a mish mash of data that requires some finger crossing.
