Assigning an asset to a job

After creating an asset, you will be able to assign them directly to jobs.

1. Open a job you want to assign an asset to
2. Select the Items tab
3. Next to Add item, select > From assets
   
   
4. Choose the asset you want to assign
   
5. Edit the assignment details as desired and select Assign
   
   

   With the Tasks add-on enabled, Workiz can automatically create drop-off and pick-up tasks when assigning an asset to a job.

Viewing assets on your schedule

After assigning assets to jobs, you can view them on your schedule. While viewing your schedule using the Timeline or Timeline Week views, you can filter the results by assets to see your asset assignments and availability.
