[rt-users] Asset Tracker Documentation

[Michael Ellis]

Well,

We only have the one company, so I can't really speak to that. I do set 
up Library Units and Locations custom fields to track which unit has the 
asset and where it's located.

You shouldn't have to make software, workstation, monitor, printer, etc. 
for each company. You just make the types. And the a company custom 
field. If you want to search for software at company1 then you make 
"type = 'software'" and "Company = 'Company1'" your query. Think tags, 
not folders.
