Additional Info

Store additional information about the asset, including life cycle data and other information such as software test and physical condition. Life cycle data gives a comprehensive view of an asset's history and projected future, which is vital for making informed decisions regarding asset management.

Your organization's administrator sets up a default form within the Classic TMS modules. The display of tabs, field groupings, and fields varies depending on whether it's in Create, Update, or Query mode.

The tabs and fields you see within this content may differ from those configured by your organization's administrator. Use this information as a guideline.

The default page view is List view, which displays all information in a spreadsheet-like format. Card view displays the same items as blocks. You can switch between views on desktop platforms by clicking either the list or card icon located at the upper right of the list. Mobile phone and tablet devices only display Card view.

  • Total depreciation: Calculation of Annual Depreciation + (sum of all prior years depreciation). If this value is greater than Cost Basis minus Salvage Value, then TMS displays that value rather than the value that is calculated.
