Asset Group Maintenance

You use the Asset Group Maintenance program to define and maintain asset groups which you can use to categorize your assets.

Asset groups are used for subtotalling within a number of Assets Register reports and can also be used as a selection criterion when printing reports.

A group must be defined against each asset (Assets).

The Browse on Asset Groups listview displays the asset groups currently defined.
