An Asset Type is used to categorize assets. Asset Types are used to track inventory items in bulk. For example, an Asset Type can be defined to track all refrigerators in stock. As a user creates contract items for the refrigerators, ResCenter tracks how many are in use and how many are available. Asset Types can also be used to track services provided to patrons, such as housekeeping or laundry.

To track items by serial number, use Assets instead of Asset Types.

To access the Asset Types page, select Asset Types from the Inventory menu.
