  • Groups: Groups represent groups of similar Products (e.g. 110’ Boom Lifts, 25KW Generators, 50-Ton Hydraulic Jacks). Rental rates are usually established at the Group level, as is most basic Product information.
  • Products: Products represent either a single, serialized Asset or a number of identical bulk Assets. All of the properties specific to a particular Product are managed at the Product level, including make, model, and re-order information, specifications, meter information, and availability.
  • Alphanumeric: Text consisting of both letters (A-Z) and numerals (0-9).
  • Numeric: Text consisting of numerals (0-9) only.
