+====== Category / Subcategory ======
 All FIRE Spark assets can only be associated to a single sub-category; they can not be directly associated to an asset category.  And when creating an asset it is a requirement that the asset is associated to a sub-category.  This is so the asset is available for selection within tickets, work orders, or other pulldowns in FIRE Spark.

+The **Pricebook charges** section under the asset category admin allows for the selection of one or more charges from the price book.
+The equivalent of this selection can also be found in each individual asset record.  However, it is much easier and more efficient to associate the entire asset sub-category to a charge, and in this way all assets under this sub-category will inherently also be associated to the charge(s).
+Note that if assets are added to the sub-category AFTER the charge association is made to the sub-category, or new assets are created that are put in the sub-category, then these assets will automatically be tied to the charge(s) of the sub-category as well.
