#Asset Details
The Asset Details page is the complete record for one vehicle or gear item. It’s where you review key info, manage its garage assignment, attach documents, create tasks, and log quick updates.
#How to get here
Common entry points:

#What you can do on this page
#Overview + identity
You’ll typically see a summary of the asset:
- Year / Make / Model (when available)
- Nickname (if set)
- Identifier (VIN/Tail number/HIN/MFID, depending on type)
#Update nickname
If you have edit permission, you can update the nickname from within the details view. Nicknames help items stand out in lists.

- If not assigned, you’ll see a prompt to assign it.
#Assign or change the garage

#Quick actions: Tasks + Documents + Readings
Asset Details includes shortcuts that jump you into the two most common workflows:
- Documents: opens Documents scoped to your current navigation mode
- Tasks: opens the maintenance board
See:
#Common “at-a-glance” strip (documents + tasks)
Some builds show a compact strip summarizing:
- Document compliance (expiring/expired)
- Task health (overdue/open)
Use the buttons in this strip to jump directly to Documents or Tasks for this item.
#Update odometer (vehicles)
For vehicles, you can update the odometer directly from Asset Details.
- Tap the odometer update action
- Enter the new reading (and timestamp when prompted)
- Save
See: Quick Updates
#Documents for this asset
You can review and manage documents related to the asset.
Common actions:
- Open the asset’s document folder (if one exists)
- Upload new documents or photos
- Review expirations/compliance at a glance
See: Documents

#Photos / gallery
If enabled for your account and permissions, you can:

- Set a primary photo
- Delete photos
Tip: A clear primary photo makes the item easier to spot in the Vehicles/Gear list.
#Identifier tools (VIN/Tail number, etc)
For some vehicle types, Asset Details includes tools to keep identifier-based metadata fresh.
Examples:
- Refresh VIN-decoded metadata (automobiles)
- Update VIN manually
- Scan VIN with the camera (when available)
If scanning is blocked, enable camera permission in system settings and try again.
#Retire or transfer ownership
If you have permission, you may see Retire or transfer ownership.
This is used when:
- You no longer track this asset (retire), or
- You want to transfer it to someone else (ownership transfer), or
- You need to permanently remove it (delete)
#Transfer (share with someone else)
- Choose Transfer
- The app generates a transfer token (often shown as a QR code)
- Share it with the recipient
- The recipient uses Accept Transfer (scanner) to import it
See: Accept Transfer
After transfer is accepted, the recipient may need to assign the new item to a garage before creating tasks.
#Retire (stop tracking without deleting)
- Choose Retire
- Provide a reason/notes if prompted
- Confirm
#Delete (permanent)
- Choose Delete
- Confirm the deletion prompt
#Permissions (important)
If you have viewer access in the asset’s garage, you may be able to see everything but not edit.
When you don’t have permission:
- Quick actions may be disabled
