Asset Category & Subcategory

[Daniel Plunket1]

Hello,

I have a requirement that the stakeholders be able to see the Asset category and subcategory on asset records. For example, if I had a laptop asset, the category would be computer, and the subcategory would be laptop. I do know that the product model categories have a Parent field. I'm looking for suggestions on other ways to show both data points on an asset record.

Thanks

1. You can Add two reference field to represent the category and sub-category. These fields can automatically be populated using Business rules based on the selected model's associated category hierarchy. 
2. If you prefer not to store the data directly on the asset record, you can dynamically retrieve and display the category and sub-category using UI Macro or formatter
