Roles associated with asset creation/editing are:
-

Search for the existing asset owner in your database. Select the Asset Assigned Location (if applicable) and set Tool Crib checkout access.
Step 2: Search for your asset in the product catalog

Step 3: Complete required (*) Asset ID
Selecting an asset from the product library will pre-populate some of the required fields. Other fields, such as the Asset ID, will need to be completed manually.

Enter interval and last calibration date (if available). The next calibration date will be auto calculated.
Step 5: Optionally Save the asset and close
Your asset will be immediately available in the asset list once you have saved. Press the close button to cancel saving and exit.
