About asset groups
All asset types are associated with a specific asset group. An asset group connects asset types that have similar characteristics.
Asset groups have three attributes:
- Name of the asset group
- Asset class:
- Transferable – the asset can be issued out (given to) a person, e.g., PPE gear, keys, and cards.
- Fixed Location – the asset is fixed in a set location. Like a wind turbine or a piece of machinery that stays on-site. These assets can be issued to someone who manages the asset.
- Description of the asset group
