About Assets
Before adding assets, the geographical structure of your company should be set up in the
Navigator Tree. Assets can then be associated with the physical spaces in which they reside.
(See
Setting Up the Geographical Infrastructure
.)
Setting Up Asset Types
There are two categories of Assets in
NetDoc

Backbone Assets
