Category Types Overview
Each Asset in Tenna must be assigned to a Category, which serves as a designation for the way the asset is used, like Heavy Equipment, Vehicles, or Attachments, to name a few.
Permission Requirements: Users with the “Settings - Categories” permission enabled can manage categories.
Each Category is made up of a Major Category (including customizable Major Category Name and chosen Category Type) and optional Subcategories.
The user can enter any Major Category Name they would like, but the Category Type is not customizable and must be chosen from one of the following:
- Equipment
- Vehicles
- Trucks
- Tools
- Material
- Attachments
- Consumables
Important! Choosing the most appropriate Category Type is essential, as it determines what fields and tabs are available when creating an asset.
For example, Vehicle categories include a field for VIN, while Heavy Equipment categories include a field for Serial No, instead.
