Name: Name/designation of asset
Pos.no. Free text field, searchable. Separate columns can be entered in the asset, work order and history list views.
Department: If department (cost carrier) is inserted here, this department will be linked as a cost carrier to work orders created on this asset. If department is not linked here, when creating a work order, the system will take the department of the nearest superior asset which has a department.
Asset group: Grouping of the asset with the option of inserting technical info. For details regarding technical info, see Asset Group under the System -> Asset menu.
Type: A further grouping/breakdown of the asset.
Category: When using building structure, there are four categories: Area/Owner, Building, Floor/Wing and Apartment/Room. Each of these categories has some specific fields. The logic is that if you are in Area/Owner, and you add a new asset, the system will choose the next category Building as the default. This can be overridden.
