Introduction

To make it easier to keep track of assets, you can use asset groups. Assets belonging to the same group appear together in the dashboard menu overview under the name of the asset group. For example, you can create an asset group of type Heater, for the purpose of grouping all assets of that type. In addition, you can create a group for different asset types. This is called a mixed group. A practical example of this are all assets located in a home.

Then click Add and choose Add Asset Group.
