Adding Types
A new Type can be added by selecting the + icon in the tool bar. There are three main pieces of information that can be provided during creation
- Type - a short descriptive name which is displayed in lists and used for searches and reports. This is a mandatory field
- Description - a high level description to help users understand more about the type and how it should be used
- Image - an image can be added to provide a nice visual identifier of the asset type. Any asset created using this type will also use this image.
