Property NameRequired. Allows You to specify a name to identify the property.
Active SwitchHere, you can set the Active flag to determine whether the property is active.  Once you create a property, you cannot delete it.  Marking unwanted properties as inactive allows you to hide them on search lists by choosing to filter on the Active field and prevents them from being displayed in property drop-down or combo box fields.
Property Name AbbreviationAllows you to provide an abbreviated property name (20 characters or less) that Aspire can use to display the property name when a shorter value is required. If not provided for a property, In some cases, Aspire will cut the Property Name off at twenty characters to display it.
Branch

If you change the branch on a property, Aspire prompts you (as shown below) to determine if you want to change the branch on all associated work tickets scheduled or open. When updating branches, Aspire will not change the branch on associated work tickets that are completed or canceled.

If you have the System Admin permission, then the label for this field is displayed as a hyperlink allowing them to go directly to the Tax Jurisdiction Search List screen to add or edit tax jurisdictions and then return to select one.

An option (Require No Open Invoices Check When Changing Jurisdiction) is available on the Application Configuration screen's Application tab that affects Aspire’s validation behavior when you save the property after having changed the tax jurisdiction. If this option is set, when you save after modifying the tax jurisdiction for an existing property, Aspire checks to see if there are any unpaid invoices. If there are, Aspire prevents you from changing the tax jurisdiction and displays the following message: There are one or more unpaid invoices for this property.
