Creating a Physical Asset: Dropdowns

This article will cover how to create an asset with dropdowns.

1. When you access the back office, you have two methods for adding an asset. Firstly, you can select "Add New Asset" in the Dashboard Module, which is visible upon logging in.

Alternatively, you may navigate to the Assets Module, toggle the Physical Asset option, and click the +Add New button at the top, redirecting you to a new page.

2. The New Asset page opens. Here, you can fill in the asset's details, such as registration in the Asset Identifier field, make, model, variant, and colour, and set the status to available or disabled.

Setting the status as 'Available' makes the asset available for booking, while selecting 'Disabled' restricts the asset from being booked.

3. After filling out the details, click "Next" to add specific asset properties; you can add as many properties as you want.

4. To add an asset property, for example, the First Registered date, here are the following steps.

1. Clicking + Add New on the right side.

b. Add Asset Property Value Modal opens with a list of asset properties.

Pick the First Registered Date from the dropdown.

c. Click The Calendar icon in the Value Field to open a calendar pop-up.

d. Use the calendar pop-up to fill in the date. Click the Add button to include this property.

c. Click Next to progress to the other steps.

8. Skip Select Asset Image

9. Link new asset to its corresponding virtual asset.

Click Skip if there are no virtual assets to be linked.

10. Check the box next to the Fleet Name, click Next, and a dialogue box appears with the message asking for confirmation to create this new asset for you.

11. On clicking Okay, the asset gets created, and you can find this asset by going to the assets module and then switching over to the Physical Asset Toggle.

If you have a lot of Physical assets, you can search for your new asset by typing either the asset register number or the type of asset in the search box to narrow down your results.
