Add several assets at once
Add a floor of extinguishers or a row of exit signs in one go, each numbered with its own label.
On the Unlimited plan. A free trial includes it too.
When a site has a lot of the same kind of unit, such as twelve 4.5 kg extinguishers on level 2, add them together instead of one by one.
- Go to People, Assets and press Add several.
- Choose the Customer and the Site.
- Choose the Type and type How many, up to 200 at a time.
- Fill in what they share: the Make, Model, Location, Installed on and the type's own details, such as the agent and size of an extinguisher.
- Press Next: check the units. Each unit gets a line with its label, location and serial.
- Change any line you need to: a different label, a unit in the kitchen rather than the lobby, a serial you have to hand. A location left blank is the shared one.
- Press Save. All of them are added, or none if something needs fixing.
Label numbers
A type can number its units from a pattern, such as EXT-###: the hashes are the number, so the units are EXT-001, EXT-002 and on. The next units carry on from the highest label the type already has, so after EXT-016 come EXT-017 and EXT-018.
Set or change the pattern on the type in Settings, Assets, under Label numbers. Most of the fire protection types start with one. A type with no pattern leaves the labels blank for you to type.
Adding on site
The crew adding units one after another on a job can press Same as last: the new unit starts like the one before it, with the next label. See Units on a job.
