Edit program only: An asset can be created or edited for the program version that is selected in the General tab. In this case, the assets of other versions of this program CANNOT be edited and are therefore marked in gray color. For editing these assets you have to switch to the respective program version in the General tab beforehand. Each program version can be located on several assets. The lower area serves to view and edit the asset positions of the asset selected above. Here the same principles are valid as in the upper window: If the selected asset position is related to a version that is NOT selected then this entry is marked in gray color. In case you chose the asset position of a selected asset, the entry is marked in green and can be edited.

To create a new asset please proceed as follows:

Edit program only: Please make sure that the correct program version is selected in the General tab before switching to the Assets tab.
Select the button Create a new asset (a completely new asset is generated for the selected version) or search for an existing asset to use it for the selected version via the button Create new position using an existing asset).
On creating a new asset please enter the name of the asset in the new line and select the material type from the drop down list. Enter the number and additional numbers if necessary.
Define the kind of asset and the asset format and length.
Depending on the asset/kind of asset, you can select the stock, the stock area type and the storage area.
