Add usage types and node types to asset types

The asset usage types allows administrators to specify the usage types and node types that are applicable to specific asset types. Daily agency users can then associate the appropriate unit type to the asset type from the Assets page.

When you configure usage types, a tab called Usage types displays in the Asset type detail section.

To associate usage types

  1. From the Administration menu, select Assets > Type.

  2. Either create a new asset type or open an existing asset type. (See Create, find, edit, or delete an asset type for more information.)

  3. Select the Usage types tab.

  4. Select Look up to locate all of the usage types.

  5. Select the check box(es) next to each Usage type you want to associate with the selected Asset type.

  6. Select Select to associate the usage types to the asset.

Note: The Node types tab activates only if the asset type contains a node-link linear class type.

To associate node types

  1. Either create a new asset type or open an existing asset type. (See Create, find, edit, or delete an asset type for more information.)

  2. Select the Node types tab.

  3. Select Look up to search for asset types to complete the node.

  4. Select Submit.

  5. Select the check box(es) next to each asset type you want to add to the node types list.

  6. Choose Select.
