The Asset Category Management program allows you to add, update, delete, and clone Asset Category Codes for use with the MainTrac module. A fixed asset is an item or a piece of property on which jobs can be performed. Asset Categories allow you to specify the type (i.e. the "category") of fixed asset Facilities, Equipment, Streets, Trees, and/or Utilities you use.
You can also link Tasks to Asset Category Codes. When working with Combination Logs, any Tasks linked to an Asset Category Code will appear as default options when an Asset to which the Category Code is linked is selected. For Example: The Asset Category Code is "Ball Field." Linked Tasks might include "Mowing," "Game Prep," "Scoreboard Repair," and "Watering." You link the "Ball Field" Asset Category Code to your little league ball fields in Potter Park. When working with the Potter Park ball fields in the Combination Log, the "Mowing, Game Prep, Scoreboard Repair" and "Watering" Tasks will appear as default options because you linked them to the "Ball Field" Asset Category Code which, in turn, is linked to the ball fields in Potter Park.
