Asset List window

Show all hidden content
The
Asset List
 window opens automatically after you add a new client in Fixed Assets CS or open an existing client.
 This window displays the assets that have been entered (in the
Asset Detail
 window) for the open client's selected business activity.

Customizing the Asset List window

  • Assets are listed by asset number, by default. To re-sort the asset list, select any of the column headings.
  • To change the width of any column, select and drag the left or right border of a column heading. If you change the width of any column, the change is retained for that client.
  • You can specify which columns appear in the
    Asset List
     window. (See lists of default columns and optional columns.)
  • To define associations (which you can view as columns) for the client, select
    Setup
    , then
    Associations
     while the
    Asset List
     window is open.
  • By default, the folders block in the asset list window is always visible. However, you can set an option on a user-by-user basis (in the
    Setup
    ,
    User Preferences
    , then
    Miscellaneous
     tab) to have Fixed Assets CS automatically hide and show the folders block when the mouse pointer moves over, and away from, the folders block area.

Asset data entry

  • To
    add
     a new asset for the current activity, select
    Add
    . This opens a new record in the
    Asset Detail
     window.
  • To
    modify
     an existing asset, select the asset to select it and then select
    Modify
     to open its record in the
    Asset Detail
     window.
  • To
    delete
     an asset, select the asset in the
    Asset List
     window, and then select
    Delete
    . You will be prompted to verify that you want to delete the asset.
note
  • To select multiple assets (for copying or deletion), press and hold the
    Ctrl
     key while you select each asset you want to select, or press and hold the
    Ctrl
     and
    Shift
     keys while you select to select a range of assets.
  • To find a specific asset while the
    Asset List
     window is open, select
    Edit
    , then
    Find Asset
    .

Fields & buttons

Folders block
The folders that appear in the left side of the
Asset List
 window are based on the open client's entity type. All of the assets for a single business activity are grouped within the related folder. For example, if the open client is an individual, the
Business
 folder pertains to asset information for Schedule C, Part 2.
  • To see the full name of any folder, hover the mouse pointer over the folder for a moment.
  • To enter asset information for a different activity, select the relevant folder.
  • To add a new asset for the selected activity, select
    Add
    . This opens a new record in the
    Asset Detail
     window.
  • To modify information for an existing asset within the selected activity, select the asset to select it and then select
    Modify
     to open that asset's record in the
    Asset Detail
     window.
  • Horizontal lines on a folder indicate that asset information has been entered for that activity.
  • A double-folder icon indicates the folder contains multiple-unit activities.
  • If you are licensed for FileCabinet CS, select
    FileCabinet CS
     to view FileCabinet CS documents from within Fixed Assets CS.
