Assets - What Is An Asset?

An Asset is simply any area for which you want to back-up, perform version control, and track documents, drawings, software, hardware, change requests, fault logs and/or correspondence.

An authorised user can define these Assets as they need them, and they can be implemented as cascaded parent and child Assets with meaningful names to suit your particular organisation.

Examples

	A manufacturing organisation may have their assets based around their main activities such as sales, engineering and multiple manufacturing areas
	Whereas an Accountant for example, may use the assets to define clients with sub-assets defining each year's activity.

How you apply your Assets is fully configurable. There are no limits to the number of child Assets that can be defined, and the package can be used by any type of organisation in any industry. Creating a new Asset is as simple as creating a new folder in Windows Explorer.

The facility to enter parent and child Assets also allows the US ISA S95 standard for Batch Control Systems, and its IEC equivalent IEC 61512-01, to be used within Asset Guardian®.
