IMPORTANT CONCEPTS

When a client is not an individual, a new Asset Register group will be available on the Client Overview screen. This group indicates whether a client has assets, either as part of their applications or separately, that can be selected for leasing to other clients. To set this up, the TFS broker company must set their enterprise/context to a client.
