ASSET An "asset" is anything you own. When you purchase a product, it becomes your asset. The term "assets" means roughly the same thing as "inventory".

Use this page the first time you record your inventory:
You can use the Home Inventory < page to add many assets at once. This page helps you add assets by location. First specify a location, then load each asset using the "Add New Asset" panel at the bottom of the page. It also provides a printable worksheet you can use to manually record your assets.
You can print the report when you're done, though MakeLifeEasy keeps a secure copy in two locations.
Use these page when you purchase new assets:
You can use the Add an Asset < page to add a new asset.
Use these pages if you must make an insurance claim:
You can use the Total Asset Values < report to get a summary of your asset values. Clicking on any location link will display all the assets at that location.
Use this page when you want to find ways to get cash:
Be open-minded! Don't hold on to stuff you don't need or want. That includes more than you might think. Get free of unwanted assets and get cash in your pocket. You can use the Saleable Assets < report to find good assets to sell. See Maximize the Value of Your Stuff!
To display the Asset Properties page, you must find an asset in a list (like the home inventory list) Then, to display the page, either click on the asset name, or click "Show details..." on the Asset Actions menu next to the asset name.
The Search Assets < page lets you quickly find an asset by name.
The basic data pages let you to manage your lists of locations, users, purposes, buyers, and sellers.
The Options page lets you configure the application with your preferences. NOTE: The only sections that apply for this mini-application are "Membership" and "Emails".
This Home Inventory Mini-Application is a "light" version of the complete MakeLifeEasy application. It contains only home inventory functions. You can switch to the full application using this menu command. Read more at The MakeLifeEasy Mini-Applications.
