What an asset group page shows
An asset group is a set of equipment of one type at a property, for example all the fire extinguishers or the sprinkler system, with each individual unit being an asset. You reach an asset group from the property's Asset Groups card.
The header shows the group's type and an Active or Inactive status, with the property it sits on. The Assets tab lists the individual units and their details; you can switch between Table View and Card View and search them. Both views list every asset type set up for the group, including the ones you haven't added anything to yet — those sit at the bottom. Card View marks an empty type with "No assets of this type yet"; Table View shows it as an empty grid with no such text. Use the three-dot menu above the list to create an inspection report for the group when a report type is available.
The same menu has Download Assets as CSVs. It downloads a ZIP file containing one CSV for each asset type currently shown in the list. Each CSV includes the Asset ID, the configured asset details, and the next due date for each applicable service. When you search the asset list, the download contains only those matching assets; clear the search first to download every asset in the group.
On the right, the Recurring Services card holds the service schedules for this equipment, Automation Setup controls the outreach that goes out for it, and Next Automation shows what's coming up. Use Edit to rename or change the group.
You can ask Essential what this group is, where it is, or how many units it has.
Timeline is always at the bottom of the page, below the main content and side cards on every screen size.
Where to find it: Open an asset group from a property's Asset Groups card; the page header reads Asset Groups /
