Help on Asset Location

Basics of using a typical web page

This Help page allows you to search and select an asset location and transfer the details to the field where it is required.

You can carry out a search based on the code identifying the asset location, the description of the location and the child locations. You can also search based on the type of the location and the status of the location. The system retrieves the location details based on the search criteria entered. The selected location code is transferred to the required page, when it is confirmed.
