Search for an asset

An agency may have thousands of assets. You can quickly filter your assets list by selecting your asset group and asset type from the list menus in the Asset list page and clicking the Filter button. Or, use a search to enter any information that you know about the asset.

Civic Platform allows you to search assets by asset details, asset addresses, associated work order details, as well as rating types and attribute fields associated to your selected asset type. If you want to view the list of fire hydrants around a school, you may begin your search by identifying the asset type as Hydrant. Since you know the location of the school, you could enter the city, zip code, street, and any other fields narrowing the search.

If you lack the asset detail information, but want to get all the assets that have due work orders in the next week, you just enter the work order scheduling details and perform the asset search.

To search for an asset

  1. From the Assets page, select Search.

    Civic Platform displays the Asset search page.

    Notes: 

    • The available search fields are a combination of asset detail fields, address fields, and work order fields. After you select an asset type, the rating types and attribute fields associated to the asset type also display as search fields at the end of the page.

    • You can choose what fields to display and group the fields as necessary with the Edit View feature. For more information on Edit View, See Edit view for more information.

  2. Complete the fields for which you want to perform your search.

  3. After you enter all the desired search parameters, select Submit.

    Civic Platform returns a list of all assets that match your search criteria.

    Note: If you specify some work order fields as the search criteria, Civic Platform returns a list of all assets that associate with the specified work orders.
