Use the optional template functionality to establish sets of default data for property that shares common characteristics by entering this data on the Manage Asset Template Information screen and the eight available tabs and subtask.

The template functions only as the mechanism by which template data is automatically imported into an Asset Master record. Once the data displays in the Asset Master record (after import), you can edit it on a field-by-field basis, if necessary, and there is no additional functionality for the template.

The primary role for the Asset Template is to reduce the amount of repetitive manual data entry in Asset Master records that share mutual attributes. Another important advantage in the Asset Template functionality lies in the ability to incorporate consistent descriptions and data across property records, thus enhancing the quality of tracking and reporting functions within the system.
