Adding an Asset Model

To create a Biomed asset, you will first need to configure risk assessment for your assets, add PM templates, and add an asset model. You will use the asset model to create your assets, so that the data for each of your similar assets is standardized, limiting the risk of faulty or incomplete data.

How to Add an Asset Model
