Deleting assets

You might delete an asset in the Assets component of the Maintenance software when the asset is no longer in use, has been replaced, or is retired. Deleting unnecessary assets ensures that the asset list remains up to date and relevant for effective asset management and maintenance planning.

You can either delete a single asset or multiple assets at the same time.

1. From the main menu on the left side of the screen, select the Maintenance ( ) option. The Work Order Console appears.

2. From the Maintenance menu, select Assets ( ) > Asset Console. The Asset Console appears.

For more information, see Asset Console.

3. If necessary, use the search and filter options to find the asset.
   For more information, see Sorting and filtering the Asset Console.

        The asset is deleted.

   • To delete multiple assets at the same time:
