Asset Allocation in Mobile Incident Creation
The Asset Allocation field is added on Log New Incident page on Mobile App. Asset Allocation allows users to select and associate an asset with the relevant request or record. The field is mandatory only when applicable and can be bypassed when no asset is allocated to the user.
This ensures users can continue with the required process without being blocked by a field that does not apply to them.
To allocate an Asset, perform the following steps:
Log in to the Mobile App. Click New Incident.
