Searching and sorting assets within a group
When an asset group holds many assets, the search and sort tools help you find the one you want. A search icon at the top-right of the Assets section expands into a text field when you click it; what you type matches against an asset's attribute values, all of them combined, so you can type a model number, size, location, or serial number and it filters to assets whose attributes contain what you typed.
Multiple words act as an AND search: every word you enter must appear somewhere in the asset's attributes for it to stay in the list. The match ignores spacing, so partial fragments still work.
To order the list, click a column header to sort by that attribute, and click again to reverse the direction. Your sort choice is remembered per asset type, so it stays put when you come back.
The # column keeps each asset's own position number, so searching or sorting never renumbers anything — a filtered list shows the numbers it kept (1, 2, 4, 5 …) with gaps where the hidden assets sit. That way a number always identifies the same asset, whatever is on screen.
Note that while a search or a column sort is active, the manual Reorder option is turned off, since both change which rows are shown and in what order. Sorting by # in ascending order is the exception: it restores the group's own order, so Reorder stays available. (Sorting # descending does not, since that reverses the list.) The table also includes a column for each recurring service that applies to the type, labeled "[Service] Due".
These show each asset's soonest next due date for that service, or a dash if none applies, letting you sort or scan by what's coming up next. Search and sort affect only the assets on screen; they never change or delete anything.
Where to find it: On an asset group page, the search icon at the top-right of the Assets section. Click a column header in the table to sort. [Service] Due columns show each asset's next due date.
