Manage Asset Views
The Manage Asset Views tool, located in the Administration module, allows the admin to create and manage asset views. Asset views are a way of organizing and grouping a specific set of assets. Asset views are similar to parent assets in the Asset Tree, but are typically used for different purposes. Whereas parent assets are often used to distinguish an agency's counties, districts, regions, etc., asset views are most commonly used to group assets to be used by specific sets of users.
Create a New Asset View
The Manage Asset Views page operates similar to the Manage Inventory page in that there is an Asset View Tree with a "[Create New]" option that must be selected to create a new asset view.
Use the Asset View Name textbox to name the asset view, and then select the associated asset types from the Asset Types checkboxes to determine what assets will be available to add to the asset view.
Once this information is complete, click the Save New Asset View button in the top right corner of the screen to save the new asset view and reveal the Assets Included in Asset View section.
Click the Select Assets button to open a popup of the Asset Tree:
Locate and check the boxes of the desired assets to be included in the asset view. Click the Save button to accept the selections or click the Cancel button to cancel the selections.
Once the selections in the popup are saved, they will appear in the Assets Included in Asset View section and the Number of Assets indicator will update.
Manage Asset Views Page Controls
The Save New Asset View button is present when a new asset view is being created. This button saves the new asset view.
Once the new asset view has been saved, the Save New Asset View button is replaced in the top right corner of the page by the Copy and Delete buttons.
The Copy button makes a copy of the selected asset view. The Delete button deletes the selected asset view.
