Changes to Assets Module

In an upcoming update of TrakIT, please note that we will be linking assets with companies.

Note the following points carefully:

• Each asset will belong to a company (even if it is a third-party asset)
• Users (except SysAdmins) will only be able to see assets for their primary company and any additional companies they are assigned to
• The initial company for each asset will be based on responsible users / asset creators company
• Asset Types, Asset Categories and Asset Data will continue to be global and available to all companies
• ​While adding assets in Work Order it will list only those assets which belong to user's assigned company(s)

For any questions or concerns, please contact TrakIT Support.
