Asset Templates (Tr) application
To create asset templates so that you can apply identical information to multiple assets, use the Asset Templates (Tr) application.
You can specify any or all of the following standard asset information
for an asset template:
- Type
- Year
- Make
- Model
- Vendor
- Default asset description
- Information about costs
- Information about motor-pool use
To create new asset records that are based on an asset template, use the Generate New Assets window. You can create one or more individual asset records, or you can create a numbered series of asset records. To apply an asset template to selected existing asset records, use the Apply to Existing Assets window.
To view, edit, or add operator qualifications for the asset template, use the Operator Qualifications window. Assets that are based on the template have the operator qualification requirements that are specified. The qualifications are for the asset operator only.
Attention: If you apply the template to existing asset
records, data from the fields on the template replaces any data in
the corresponding fields of the asset records. However, if a field
on the template is empty, the contents of the corresponding field
on asset records is not changed.
