Creating Finance Categories
This section covers the necessary steps involved in creating a new finance category within the Metrix Asset Management System. This extends to the initial creation of the category along with a description. In subsequent sections, editing and deleting finance categories is discussed.
To create a new finance category within Metrix, complete the following steps:
-
Navigate to the ‘Finance Categories’ management page (Assets Menu > Finance Categories).
-
Click on ‘Create New Finance Category’ at the top of the page.

-
This will initialise a new finance category and display a dialog box waiting for additional details.
-
From here, you will need to set the ‘Finance Category Name’, and an optional ‘Description’ for the new category.
-
When you have finished defining the finance category, click ‘Create’
Editing a finance category is restricted to updating the description only. Other properties including the category name cannot be modified after initial creation.
