All objects displayed within the breadcrumb are hyperlinked and can be selected and opened, either in a new tab should the browser support it, or directly in the current window.

This area contains all the content and information stored against either the Location or Asset selected.

Using the View Layout, the user can swap between a tabbed layout, a horizontal layour or a vertical layout. There is also an option to view only the SVG element and the Asset Grid.

This view can be ordered by selecting a column header, filtered by using the text box immediately above the table and if the relevant permissions are available assets can be edited inline.

3.6.3. Reports

Reports appropriate to the selected object are listed in this section. For example, if a Location this would be a Full Asset List and an Audit Trail report. Any reports built by and/or shared by Users are listed here also.

Reports can be run by simply selecting the report name, where date ranges are appropriate, some pre-selected ranges are listed adjacent to the report name.

3.6.4. History

The entire audit log of either a Location or an Asset is viewable in this section. There are date selectors to choose the date range to search between.
