# Asset Attribute

### Overview

Once you've defined an attribute, you'll want to start using them. Assets often have attributes for them to help define behaviour on specific. For example, if you have multiple beverage fillers on a line, each one may have a differing number of filler heads.

Attributes are added in the configuration section but can be associated to the an asset through the asset attribute table.

{% hint style="info" %}
This attribute will remain the same on every order that uses this asset. However, if you ever want to give operators the option to update an Asset Attribute, this is possible by using the [Update Attribute](/tillit/knowledge-base/setting-up-tillit/activity-templates/activity/elements/element-types/update-attribute.md) for Asset Attributes in an activity. Caution should be used when doing this as this will affect any order using this asset, present and future.
