How to Remove Equipment in the SmartAsset Platform

 

Removing equipment from the SmartAsset platform helps keep your asset list accurate, organized, and aligned with what is actively in service.

Step 1: Reviewing Equipment List

·       Navigate to the left menu pane. Select Lists.

·     
In the middle menu, click on Equipment. Review the list to ensure that the piece of equipment is on the platform. If the equipment is on the platform, proceed to the next step to remove it.

 

Step 2: Removing Equipment from the List

·       In the Equipment List page, search for the equipment that needs to be removed. Once located, check the select box to the left of the record, then navigate to the upper right hand side of the screen to Actions and Delete Record.
