Managing your Asset Types

Once you've established your asset typesAsset Types, you can perform various actions to maintain them:

  • Drag and Drop: Reorder attributes within an asset type Asset Type for a logical flow.

  • Delete Attribute: Remove unnecessary attributes from an asset typeAsset Type.

  • Set Required: Make specific attributes mandatory for all assets within that type (e.g., serial number).

  • Rename Asset Type: Change the name of an asset type Asset Type for clarity (remember to re-index after renaming).

  • Delete Asset Type: Remove an asset type Asset Type entirely if it's no longer relevant (re-indexing is required).

Moving Asset Types between schemes

As your asset collection grows, you might need to reorganize. The system allows you to move asset types Asset Types from one scheme to another for better categorization. Don't forget to re-index your schemes after making these changes.

Note

Re-indexing: This process ensures the system maintains a proper order within your asset type schemesAsset Type Schemes. The system might prompt you to re-index after specific actions; you can also do it manually for better organization.
