Set up asset associations

Associations are used to sort assets during data entry (by selecting a column heading in the Asset List window), to categorize assets to report purposes, and enter additional information needed for UltraTax CS personal property tax returns. They may also be used to focus the list of available assets when reassigning assets or selecting assets for a mass transfer or mass disposition.
