## Allocating Assets

Assets can be allocated to a job in two simple methods:

* Direct allocation (to the job)
* 'Assets required' table (a list of desired assets)

### Direct to Job

&#x20;**If you know** what asset you want to allocate to a job, assets can be allocated directly to a job:

1. 'Click and drag' the asset onto the relevant job:

<figure><img src="https://50563950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-Lzplo2osBdXGzFtPu2f%2Fuploads%2Frh4SL8wD4OSgRaLOcqPs%2FScreenshot%202024-07-28%20at%202.09.48%E2%80%AFPM%20(3).png?alt=media&#x26;token=51616efc-5242-4beb-ba33-4050d1234d3c" alt=""><figcaption><p>Find the asset you'd like to allocate and drag it onto your job</p></figcaption></figure>

2. The asset will then appear allocated to a job, both in the 'Assets Required' table and in the asset allocation tab.

### 'Assets Required' Table ("Positions")

If you **don't yet know** what asset you want to allocate to a job, such as when a job is still being tendered or quoted, a list of assets can be built directly to a job through the 'Assets Required' table by adding an 'Asset Position'.

{% hint style="info" %}
**What are 'Asset Position' on a job?**

An asset position can be thought of as the obligation you have to provide something to your customer, like a contract. For example:<br>

An Asset "Position" = 1.8t Excavator for $200 per day

An Asset "Allocation" = EX01 added to this position<br>

Why this works:

Take a break down scenario where an asset is swapped out:

* If EX01, breaks down and is swapped out for another asset, EX02
* This would be an example of the 'Allocation' (EX01) **changing**
* The 'Position' (a 1.8t Excavator for $200 per day) **would not change**
* The customer is paying for the 1.8t position , not the individual asset on the job (EX01 vs EX02)
  {% endhint %}

1. Click the action button and select 'Add asset/position':

2. Complete the popup prompting one (or multiple) of this position:

Once added, asset positions will appear in your calendar 'Awaiting Allocation':

## Adding a Rate

Rates can be added to assets on a job using the 'Assets Required' table:

Adding a rate to assets on your job will allow draft invoices to generate automatically:

## On Hiring Assets

Accurate time confirmations are critical to ensuring your invoices are generated accurately.

To on confirm the on hire of an asset in your calendar:

1. Select the asset allocation and click 'On hire':

2. Confirm when the asset should be on hired from. You will receive (3) common options:

* **Right now** - Use the current date/time
* **As planned** - 'Back date' or 'forward date' the on hire to when it was originally planned
* **Custom** - Set a custom date/time&#x20;

3. Once on hired, you will see the allocation become a more 'solid' filled colour in your calendar, and appear with the status "ON HIRE":
