   Table 1. Create New Asset service code form

   Field	Description
   Display name	Name of the code that's automatically generated based on the values in the Code and the Description fields when the code is created. For example, if the Code field has a value F1001 and the Description field is Power failure, then the Display name is F1001-Power failure.
   Code	Unique identifier used to identify an asset failure or the solution to it. For example, F1001 or R1001.
   Description	Brief description that explains what the code signifies. For example, Power failure.
   Type	Type of code. The following values are available: Failure Resolution
   Parent	Code of the parent. Note: The parent code is of the same type as the child code. For example, the parent of a failure code is another failure code, and the same applies to resolution codes.
   Model categories	Model categories to which the code can be applied. Note: When you select a parent on the code, the model category is inherited from the parent code. However, you can still update the this field. If you don't select any model category, the code applies to all model categories.
   Source	Source of the code. This field is required.

5. Select Save.
