Add Asset Subtypes

ASSET SUB TYPES  sit alongside Asset Types in a parent / child relationship and are used to sub-define the types of Asset within a particular Asset Type category.  For example:

• Bus
  • Minibus
  • Low floor bus
  • Double decker bus
  • School bus

As the Asset Sub Type is part of a parent / child relationship, the first step is to select the parent of the Asset Sub Type that the user intends to create.

To do this, select the dropdown symbol on the Asset Type line as shown

This will show to the user the current list of Asset Types in use in Assetminder.

Select the Asset Type which is the parent to the Asset Sub-Type being created.

 Moving then, to the next line ("ASSET SUB TYPE") enter here the new Asset Sub Type being created.

The final step is the select an appropriate damage map to be used with this Asset Sub-Type.  This will be used later during Inspections to assist in specifying a point of damage.
