Adding regions

Asset Essentials provides you with a hierarchy of fields, including Regions, Sites, and Locations, to define your organizational structure. You may or may not use all fields in your account. Your organizational structure identifies where work is performed, as well as where Assets and Parts are housed. *Note: Only clients with Asset Essentials Enterprise have the ability to use the Regions field. If you are interested in purchasing Asset Essentials Enterprise, please contact your Sales Representative or Client Services.

 

Regions

Asset Essentials allows you to create Regions for your organization. Regions allow you to group multiple sites under one umbrella for the purposes of assigning work, management functions, and sharing of resources. It is not necessary to use Regions in your account. For single-site organizations, Regions are not necessary. For larger, or more complex organizations, Regions can be very helpful. For example, if an organization has several manufacturing plants throughout the Southeastern United States, a Region named "Southeast" could represent the collection of manufacturing plants, or Sites, in that geographic area.
