Your Asset Types Library defines how your equipment is grouped and displayed in G2G. Occasionally, you may need to correct or update a category name to keep things clear and consistent across your organisation.
This guide walks you through editing an existing Equipment Category in your library — whether it’s fixing a naming error or simplifying how it's shown in the system.
✅ Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Find the Asset Type
- Using the main menu select Asset Types, this will display all the Asset Types set up in the system.
- Search for the Asset Type you would like to edit and ensure that it needs changing.
Step 2: Edit the Category Name
- Click the category name you want to update.
- Once select click on the Edit link in the Type Name table.
Step 3: Rename Type Name
- Type new name into the Type Name field.
- Once updated, click Save to update the Asset Type Name.
⚠️ Caution Before Editing
- Make sure you have edit permissions for the Types Library.
- Avoid changing category names in ways that might confuse teams already using the system.
- Double-check spelling and capitalisation — especially for categories shared across multiple sites.
💡 Tips for Efficiency
- Use naming templates across your organisation (e.g., “Power Tools”, “Support Vehicles”, “Height Safety Gear”).
- Keep a record of any major edits for auditing or internal reference.
- If updating several categories, use a checklist to track progress.
A consistent Types Library saves time, reduces search errors, and makes your system easier to use — especially in large or high-turnover teams.
