The Asset List window opens automatically after you add a new client in Fixed Assets CS or open an existing client. This window displays the assets that have been entered (in the Asset Detail dialog) for the open client's selected business activity.
Customizing the Asset List window
- Assets are listed by asset number, by default. To re-sort the asset list, click any of the column headings.
- To change the width of any column, click and drag the left or right border of a column heading. If you change the width of any column, the change is retained for that client.
- You can specify which columns appear in the Asset List window. (See lists of default columns and optional columns.)
- To define associations (which you can view as columns) for the client, choose Setup > Associations while the Asset List window is open. For detailed information, see Setting up asset associations.
- By default, the folders block in the asset list window is always visible. However, you can set an option on a user-by-user basis (in the Setup > User Preferences > Miscellaneous tab) to have Fixed Assets CS automatically hide and show the folders block when the mouse pointer moves over, and away from, the folders block area. See Hiding the folders block in the Asset List window for details.
Asset data entry
- To add a new asset for the current activity, click the Add button. This opens a new record in the Asset Detail dialog.
- To modify an existing asset, click the asset to highlight it and then click the Modify button to open its record in the Asset Detail dialog.
- To delete an asset, highlight the asset in the Asset List window, and then click the Delete button. You will be prompted to confirm that you want to delete the asset.
Tips
- To select multiple assets (for copying or deletion), press and hold the CTRL key while you click each asset you want to select, or press and hold the CTRL and SHIFT keys while you click to select a range of assets.
- To find a specific asset while the Asset List window is open, choose Edit > Find Asset.
