Assets¶
Before you start¶
Please ensure you are familiar with Container Types before reading this article. Container Types serve as the parent categories for assets within Paperwork.
This article provides insights into the Assets table within References.
Assets are container types that can be scheduled and left on-site. By tracking assets, users can know which container was used on a job and manage their deployment effectively.
Completely optional
Assets is a purely optional area of Paperwork. It comes down to individual organisations' business logic whether or not it is used.
Understanding Assets¶
Assets in Dsposal's Paperwork include the following information:
- Asset Name: The name of the asset, providing a descriptive label for identification. (Mandatory)
- Container Type: The type of container, selected from the Container Type reference table.
- Description: A brief description outlining the characteristics or purpose of the asset.
- Fixed Location: Indicates whether the asset is in a stationary position (Yes/No). (Mandatory)
Adding an Asset¶
- Click on the "Add Asset" button.
- Enter the required information in the provided fields:
- Asset Name: Provide a name for the asset. (Mandatory)
- Container Type: Select a container type from the Container Type reference.
- Description: Provide a description for the asset.
- Fixed Location: Indicate whether the asset is in a stationary position (Yes/No). (Mandatory)
- Click "Submit" to save the new asset.
Managing Assets¶
Organisations can manage Assets by:
- Adding new assets: Represent specific containers that can be scheduled and tracked.
- Editing existing assets: Update information such as name, container type, description, or fixed location status.
- Archiving assets: Mark assets that are no longer in use or relevant to streamline the list and improve usability within Paperwork.
Uses¶
Assets are used in the following areas of Paperwork:
They are also referenced within the broader container management module.
