The 'Asset Tree Structure' page under 'Assets' in the menu displays assets in their hierarchical structure. The page provides various options, such as moving assets, creating new assets, viewing asset details, and performing several actions on assets.

General
An Asset tree structure consists of the various assets and departments within a company, organized in a hierarchical structure. This page contains several of the same buttons as the All Assets page.

Creating new assets
The orange '+' button at the bottom right of the page can be used to create new assets. If an asset is selected before creating a new asset, McMain Online automatically links the newly created asset to the selected asset (the new asset is placed below the selected asset).
