# Asset Attributes

## Overview

Once you've defined an attribute, you'll want to start using it. Assets often have attributes to help define specific behaviours. 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 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.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Once selected, the value input field for that attribute type will appear. Enter the required value.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Save and close.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Keep in mind if the order also has the same attribute the order attribute will take precedence.
