Selecting a property or asset or by name

Multiple Crisisworks registers have a property or asset search,  they all work the same way however some registers may have different labels or may not offer you a choice of asset types if there is only one type of asset to choose from.

For details on how to use the mobile app to select assets near you, goto http://crisisworks.com/app/videos/ and look at the "select assets using GPS (100 seconds)" video

For a lot more details on working with Maps and Assets goto the  Working with Maps and Assets documentation page.


There are multiple ways to add assets especially on a mobile device, however most common approach via the web is searching by name.

How to select a property by name

  1. Select the asset type, as shown in this image
  2. Type an asset name into the asset search box
  3. Assets are displayed in a pulldown list (see image below)
  4. If a map is also configured for that view, the assets are also drawn onto the map
  5. You can refine your results by selecting a type (type such as Property, Parcel and Point of Interest are common for governmental users) 
    1. "All" will search all asset types at the same time
  6. If a type is selected with a configured just-in-time lookup, then that external lookup will be performed. This is typically the case for "Point of Interest" searches. 
  7. Some forms have additional property details that can also be entered, such as the locally known name such as Woolies, or Jo's Cafe 
  8. If you need to change the selected asset press the red X as shown here
