Overview

The Assets section of the Workshop module is where you set up the vehicles, plant and equipment that the workshop team will be maintaining.

Assets defined as Fleet are available for the operations team to allocate to driving jobs. Assets defined as Plant are workshop-only — they are maintained and serviced through Workshop but do not appear in operations allocation views.
