Disabling or Re-enabling a Custom Field for Inventory

Use the following procedure to disable or re-enable a custom field for inventory. If you want to edit other attributes in the field definition, use the procedure in Editing a Custom Field for Inventory instead.

When a field is disabled, it is no longer available (that is, it is visible neither in the Code Insight Web user interface nor in the REST interface) across all inventory. When a field is re-enabled, it is made available to all inventory. (The Visible in UI value determines whether the field is visible in both the Code Insight REST interface and the Web user interface or in the REST interface only.)

To disable or re-enable a custom field for inventory, do the following:

  1. Follow the instructions in Step 1 in Creating a Custom Field for Inventory to access the Administration page.

  2. On the Administration page, select the System Settings tab.

  3. From the list of custom fields In the Custom Fields for Inventory section, locate the field that you want to disable or re-enable, and click the icon in the Action column at the end of the row.

    The Edit Custom Field dialog opens.

  4. Set the Enabled attribute to No to disable the custom field or to Yes to re-enable the field.

  5. Click Save to update the custom field definition with your changes. Your changes are reflected in the list of custom fields in the Custom Fields for Inventory section on System Settings tab.
