Access the Asset module

Asset management considers the entire lifecycle of plant assets, such as equipment, parts, production lines, and the plant buildings themselves. It includes making decisions about asset use, asset investment and disinvestment policies, and managing the asset portfolio. Assets allow you to manage independently Users and Assets on Work Items. Project Managers can plan the capacity of instruments, machinery or equipment on Work Item and manage financials independently from User resources. 

The Assets module displays all of the assets that have been added to the organization. Assets in the organization have an email, capacity, a calendar, and Billing/Cost rates. 

There is no timesheets, permissions, or license associated with Assets
