One of the strengths of Sage Fixed Assets is the ability to have large amounts of assets that contain an assortment of information. However, as more assets are added to a company, it becomes more difficult to organize them.

In order for users to quickly sort and filter assets, Sage Fixed Assets uses Groups. Groups contain criteria about the assets you would like to filter. For instance, let’s say that you would like a group that contains only your luxury automobiles, and you know that all of your automobiles have the property type of A in common. You can create a group where the criterion is “Property type is A” that will allow you to work with only your luxury automobiles. Once you’ve created this group, you can run reports or depreciation on just that group. This also gives you the ability to pull up and view that group of assets in the group view screen. By utilizing groups, Sage Fixed Assets is simpler and far easier to manage than manually having to sift through all assets in your company.
