Before you start building your Asset Type Library it’s important to understand that it is the foundation of your G2G system. This is where you define how your equipment and plant are structured, named, and displayed — so your teams can find, manage, and maintain gear easily across sites, yards, and projects.

Before adding any Assets, your Types Library should be carefully set up. Think of it as the blueprint for how your operation is organised — helping avoid confusion and duplication from day one.

Why It Matters

A well-structured Asset Types Library ensures:

• Every Asset is grouped and named consistently
• Teams can search and log equipment quickly on the job
• Movement, inspections, and servicing tasks are easier to manage
• Everyone uses the same language — across sites, projects, or contractors

It’s the first step in building a digital system that reflects how your operation runs in the real world.

We recommend thinking in four layers:

Any Asset-specific details like registration numbers, service intervals, inspection tags, or load capacities can be captured using Custom Fields — part of your Structure + Setup toolkit.

Outcome

Once your Asset Types Library is in place:

• You can confidently tag and log equipment across all your locations
