Linear Assets - Primary Information |
Note: Non-linear assets do not display on this screen. Use the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen.
The Primary Information screen enables you to establish and track detailed information about your organization's linear assets.
There is no limit to the number of linear assets that you can define.
When you insert a linear asset with an asset category that supports automatic numbering and the Equipment ID field is blank, the Equipment ID field generates an equipment ID that follows the format specified in the Custom ID structure field on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Asset Categories screen. If you specify an ID and the equipment’s asset category supports automatic numbering, the ID is not overwritten.
Whether an asset category supports automatic numbering is specified on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Asset Categories screen.
Note: This screen supports location-level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorizations to make changes or updates.
