With our Asset Management feature, you’ll be able to track all of your information on customers’ assets for maintenance agreements. Record and store details like model name, installation date, warranty information, and more, as well as add photos, comments, and files for internal use.
But it doesn’t stop at the customer. You can also use this feature to track the equipment used by your business with the same level of detail as customer assets, and manage it directly through the FieldPulse app.
Enabling Asset Management
To begin using Asset Management, you'll first need to enable it. Start by clicking on Company Settings and selecting Features & Plugins. Navigate to Assets and select Enable. Now you're ready to begin creating and tracking your assets!
Creating an Asset
To create an asset, click Assets on the left-side of your screen.
Once in Assets, you can view your assets sorted into various categories at the top of the screen. Click Create Asset to build a new asset.
First, add a title to the asset. You can select whether the asset is a Customer Asset (will become a customer's property) or a Company Asset (will be owned, used, and maintained by you). If it's a Customer Asset, you will be prompted to link a customer, which will also auto-populate their location as the location of the asset. You can also change the status of the asset between Uninstalled, Installed/In Use, or Retired.
Additionally, add asset tags to categorize/sort your assets easily. Search for and attach an existing maintenance agreement. Select your install date (if applicable) and type a location description (if necessary).
If you expect to use a similar asset many times, toggle on Save As Asset Template to make creating future assets more efficient! (Note: To use a template in the future, select Import Template).
Next, enter your equipment details. You can enter as many or as few details as you need!
Additionally, you can enter a warranty expiration date and the details of the warranty (if applicable). Briefly name and describe the condition of the asset as well.
Lastly, add notes and files to your assets as needed. Be sure to save your asset when finished.
After creating an asset, you will see the Asset Record. To provide updates on the asset, select Add Update from the Asset Record.
In your asset update, you can link a related job, type an update, and attach additional files.
Asset Templates
When creating a new asset, users can effortlessly insert pre-built templates. These templates act as a solid foundation, which users can easily modify details to ensure accuracy and relevance.
To create an asset template, begin by navigating to Assets in the left-side menu then clicking Create Asset.
Before adding any information, toggle on Save As Asset Template.
You can now title your template.
Enter all pertinent details, including condition details, warranty details, and notes. When you've customized your template, press Save.
To insert an asset template, begin by navigating to Assets in the left-side menu then clicking Create Asset.
Before entering any details, click Import Template then select the applicable template.
All of the details you entered in the template will now auto-populate, but you can easily modify as needed. Be sure to press Save after fine-tuning your asset.
Attaching an Asset
Job Record

To attach an asset to a customer, open their customer record. Select the Asset tab at the top of the screen.
