In APM, each asset has an asset record. APM uses this asset record to keep track of all the information related to that asset. You can create records for all of your organization’s assets, organize them into hierarchies, and perform tasks on them such as creating work orders. For more information, see Overview of Assets. This section explains the basic steps for creating each type of asset. See “Working with Assets” for information about adding information such as standard documents, barriers, and purchase and warranty information.
