Choose the correct asset type and fill missing required fields
Pick the option that matches the real-world record you are adding or reviewing. If two options look similar, use the one that matches the source document, not the one that makes totals look cleaner.
Save and confirm the asset moved to the expected tab
Save only when the record reflects the source. After saving, the change can affect Net Worth, Capital Review, Forecast, exports and shared views.
