Asset types

Infor Public Sector includes several dozen standard asset types that are organized into different modules. For example, the Sewer module includes asset types such as sewer mains, manholes, pumps, and lift stations, and the Street module includes asset types such as street segments, traffic signals, and signs. Some asset types are included in more than one module.
