The main section of the 'All Assets' page contains a list of assets. You can use the search function, filters, and manual scrolling to find a specific asset or group of assets. The application uses the text entered in the search field to search through asset information. For example, you can search by asset description, asset number, supplier name, etc.

Use this button to take the selected asset out of service. An asset that has been taken out of service is no longer displayed in the general asset list or the Asset tree structure. This may occur, for example, when an asset has been sold or replaced. This button is only available when an asset is selected. You can filter for assets that have been taken out of service. |

The trash can with an upward arrow is the button used to put an asset back into service. This can be seen by a change in its status. This button is only available when an asset is selected. |

Click this button to create a breakdown work order, work order, or preventive maintenance model. These options are only available when an asset is selected. |

The export button allows you to export the assets currently displayed in the list based on any selected filter(s) to Excel. You can export the file in XLS or XLSX format. |

Click the print button to print the (filtered) asset list or save it as a PDF. |

Creating a new asset
Click the orange '+' action button at the bottom right to create a new asset.
After clicking the orange button at the bottom right, the window shown below opens, allowing you to create a new asset. Enter the information for the new asset in the various fields. The only required field is the asset description. If an asset administrator is used, that field is also required. If no asset code is entered, McMain Online automatically generates a code for the asset.
