20. Asset Types
Returns a list of asset types and subtypes in the system
All assets have a 'type' attribute. This attribute is encoded in the RFID asset tag
and is used to control the inspection device behavior. An asset's type is part of it's unique identification.
The default asset type is 0 with a label of 'Standard'. Other asset types may be added as required
by specific inspection configurations. There is no user interface to add or otherwise manipulate asset types.
Assets may optionally be assigned a 'subtype' attribute. Subtypes are an arbitrary user defined label used to help identify and organize assets. It has no other purpose and does not affect the operation of the system. User with appropriate permissions may add, delete and edit subtypes.
