This article explains how to use the different views in the Assets module to view assets, and how to use filters to control which assets you see.

View Assets in the Web App​

The MaintainX web app has the following asset views:

  • Split View: shows a list of assets, and details about the selected asset side by side.
  • Table View: lists assets in a table where you can sort them, and edit them in bulk.

Split View​

To access the split view:

  1. From the sidebar, select Assets.
  2. In the Assets module, select the (Split View) icon to switch to the Split view.

The list pane on the left shows the list of assets in your organization.

  • Use the Sort By option to choose how you want to see your assets listed.
  • Select an asset from the list to display the details pane on the right. The details pane displays the form fields for the selected asset.

Table View​

To access the table view:

  1. From the sidebar, select Assets.
  2. In the Assets module, select the (Table View) icon to switch to the Table view.

The Table view is a compact table of assets and asset form fields. It gives you an overview of the assets in your organization. You can also use it to bulk-edit assets (see Bulk Edit Assets).

note

In Table View, all your organization’s assets appear in the same flat list. If your plan includes parent and sub-assets (see Asset Hierarchies), sub-assets are not grouped with their parent assets.

Filters in the Assets Module​

Use filters to control which assets appear in the Assets module. You can filter by most asset properties. For example to only see assets with a specific status or type.

Add a Filter​

  1. Select + Add Filter.

  2. Choose an asset field from the list. The field is added to the filter bar.

  3. Select the new field to open its filter options.

  4. Choose a filter condition. The condition determines what makes an asset match the filter.

tip

For optimal search using Asset Filters, we recommend including as much relevant information as possible to your asset form fields when you create assets. For more information, see Create an Asset.

Save Filters​

availability

You can only save filters in the web app.

You can save the current filters in the Assets module as a preset that you can reuse later. By default, a saved filter is only available to you. When you save a filter, you can choose to make it visible to your whole organization.

  1. Create a filter as described in Add a Filter.
  2. In the filter toolbar, select Save Filters.
  3. In the Save to my Filters dialog box, enter a name for the new filter.
  4. If you want to make the saved filter an organization-wide filter, select Make this filter visible organization wide.
  5. Select Submit to save.
note

You cannot change a filter after you save it. If you want to make an already saved filter visible to your whole organization, you have to re-create it and re-save it as an organization-wide filter.
