After associating the asset, it will move from the Fleet Owned assets section into the Dealer Assets section.
Refine Your Asset Search

From here, you can refine your search by:

To do so, check Only look for results where <field> exactly matches <criteria>. - Narrowing your results down to assets related to a specific customer.
To do this, enter the customer name into the text field for Only look for results where customer name matches.
After you check the checkbox and/or enter a customer name, click SEARCH. The search results will update based on how you refined the search.

If the number you entered partially matches cases in the system, a list of results will display.
If your search does not result in any cases for your location, a blue message bar will display.
