Asset Permits Tab

The Permits tab displays any Permits that have been attached to the asset. You can assign permits to an asset or remove permits from an asset from this tab.  Assets will also inherit permits from the asset type for the asset.  When an asset is created, it will automatically be linked to permits that are linked to the selected asset type.  From then on, when permits are added to or removed from the asset type, you can choose to have those permits also added to or removed from the asset as well.

This tab is available to Equipment and Property assets.

The Permits tab displays two boxes. The box on the left of the window displays all the permits that have been assigned to the asset. The box on the right displays all the permits that are available to be assigned to the asset.
