- Double-click on the row containing the exact record match. Where the expected record is not listed, a more advanced search can be conducted using the spy-glass icon (

- Click on Asset Details. The Asset Details window is displayed for the current asset.
- Click on Rent Details. The Asset Rent Details window is displayed.
- Click on Charges. The Charges tab is activated.
- Click on New Charge. The Asset Charges window is displayed.
- Using the Charge Type drop-down field, select an appropriate parameter value for the asset e.g. Standard Rent, Assured Rent, Protected Rent, etc.
- Using the Frequency drop-down field, select an appropriate parameter value for the asset charge e.g. daily, weekly, monthly, etc.
- Using the Calendar drop-down field, select an appropriate parameter value to define the operating period for the asset charge, filtered by the chosen frequency.
- Choose an Effective from date for this asset charge i.e. the date on which it came into effect
2.
- Choose an Effective to date if the asset charge is to be reviewed on a specific date or to capture a change of circumstances; a blank field means the asset charge will be continually valid.
- Click on Save
3. The new record is displayed in the Charges summary table

Note
1 The search facility will return all possible matches for any corresponding address field once the Number of characters before an automatic search commences system preference is reached.

3 The Base Value (non-adjusted charge amount) and the Actual Value (the amount to be charged at the selected frequency) will be calculated automatically once charge elements are added to the record.
4 To amend the details of an existing asset charge, double-click on the desired row in the Charges summary table and repeat steps 10 through 12; only a limited number of fields can be updated once a record has been created.
