Edit Tagged Furniture and Property Type

You can review and edit tagged furniture information, including adding a property type for the tagged furniture from the Edit Tagged Furniture and Property Types task or from the Edit Equipment by Property Type task.

• Use Edit Tagged Furniture and Property Types task when you want to work from a comprehensive list of your tagged furniture assets. Using this task, you can update furniture records that do not yet have a property type assigned.
