Advanced Search

Advanced Search gives Users unparalleled access to the Asset Register, enabling the creation of reports in a simple, fast and user-friendly format.

 

Advanced Search allows obscure searches that require intricate Boolean expressions to Bulk Asset Category Searches.

 

This tool also allows Users to customize reports into Microsoft Excel, and save the report profile for future reporting.
