2. Scroll to the Webapp Permissions under the User Permissions area.
   
   
3. Select Full for the Assets permission.

Assets can be manually created in vWork in or imported in bulk using a CSV file.

Manually add an asset

You can add individual assets to vWork in the Assets tab.

Add Assets to your jobs

To add an Asset to a job or template:

1. Go to the job or the job template.
   
   
2. In the Job Information tab scroll down to Assets.
   
   
3. In the Select an Asset field start entering the Asset name. A list of assets will display. Select the Asset you want.

Add Assets to Repeating Jobs v2

You can create jobs for assets that repeat on a regular schedule using the optional Repeating Jobs v2 feature. To find out how to add assets to your repeating jobs, please take a look at the article: Set up Repeating Jobs v2 (with Assets).

• If you link an Asset to a customer or a Group they only show in jobs for that customer or that group.
