Question

How do I add a new asset or log? 

Answer

Overview

Assets or logs are the definitions of the Safety Checks, Per Diem, Materials, Equipment, Incident Logs, Foreman Logs, Expenses, Work Plans, etc. you are tracking. Assets or logs can be broadly divided into user-defined types or further divided into user-defined classes. 

Assets or Logs define what you keep track of, whereas Asset and Log Entries are used to track the actual usage of these assets. 

Steps

1. Navigate to your Asset and Logs tab.
   
   >> Assets and Logs >> Assets and Logs
   
2. Click on Add to create a new asset or log.

Property	Description
Name	The name for the asset entry.
Description	A description for the asset entry.
ID	The ID for the asset entry.
Status	The status for the asset entry. Either Active or Inactive. Note that you cannot delete assets that have asset entries associated with them, and in those cases you will instead make the asset inactive to prevent its further use.
Class	The class for the asset entry. Asset classes are configured by clicking the blue dropdown arrow and selecting Asset Classes.
Unit of Measure	The unit of measure for the asset entry. Units of measure are configured by clicking the blue dropdown arrow and selecting Units of Measure.
Units Decimal Digits	The number of decimal digits of precision for entering the quantity value for asset entries. The default decimal digit is "0" but you can override this by editing the unit of measure in Units of Measure.
Unit Amount	The unit amount or cost of this asset, per unit of measure.  Unit amounts can be editable by employees, or fixed.
Unit Bill Amount	The unit bill amount or rate for this asset, per unit of measure.  Unit bill amount can be either a fixed value, or can be computed as: Fixed Amount Markup - Unit Bill Amount = Unit Cost * (1 + Markup) Margin - Unit Bill Amount = Unit Cost / (1 - Margin)   Note that you can optionally allow entries to override this unit bill amount if you allow the entry's Unit Bill Amount or Total Bill Amount fields to be editable.
