Unit Asset Types

The Unit Asset Types frame allows you to define asset type capabilities and functionality. The Unit Asset Types are predefined by AssetWorks and hard coded, however you can modify the description of the asset types.  

You cannot delete an asset type; you can only disable them. To disable an asset type, check the Disable flag at the end of the row for type you want to disable. Click the save button at the top of the frame to disable the asset type.

Please note, once a type is disabled, you cannot modify the description or any of the capabilities for that asset type. Fields display as read-only after you disable an asset type.

Asset Type Capabilities

The asset type capabilities are user-defined. Select 'Yes' or 'No' from the drop down to turn on/off certain functionality for a particular asset type.

If an asset type does has a specific capability set to 'No', you will receive an error message stating that the asset type does not support that capability when trying to use the corresponding functionality/ frames.

For example, if Work Order is set to 'No' and you try to enter a unit number with an asset type that has the Work Order capability set to 'No', you will receive the error.
