Creating Batch Assessments
It's very common that similar or identical assets purchased at the same time can be expected to have a similar lifespan. Part of the capital planning process is to periodically assess the age and condition of assets and estimate how much longer they will last. Creating Batch Assessments will allow you to apply an identical assessment to many assets at once, thus updating your replacement schedule with minimal effort.
