Using Filters to search Assets

Find exactly what you need — fast and accurately.

Why Use Filters?

Filters let you narrow search results and locate specific Assets quickly. They are especially useful when working with Custom Fields — fields that store detailed information about each Asset, such as:

• Purchase date
• Service date
• Department or owner
• Asset condition
• Any other custom details your organisation tracks

Filters also allow you to search at the Asset Type and Location level, giving you more flexibility and control over your inventory searches.

When to Use Filters

Filters are most effective in situations like:

1. Searching by Asset Type

Asset Types are the hierarchical of Assets. For example:

• Handtools (Type)
  • Hammer (Subtype)
    • Sledge (Subtype)
    • Claw (Subtype)
  • Screwdriver (Subtype)
    • Flat head (Subtype)
    • Phillips head (Subtype)

Using filters, you can search at any level of the hierarchy:

• See all Handtools at once
• Narrow to a specific subtype, like Hammer or more specifically any type below that as well such as looking at just the Flat head Screwdrivers
• Or find individual Assets within that subtype
