Accessing the Manufacturers Page
The Manufacturers module aggregates data in your Beam inventory by OEM. If you have multiple assets that were made by the same OEM, they will be rolled up into a single manufacturer listing on the Manufacturers page. This gives you insight into manufacturer-level insights (e.g. are particular models more likely to break than others? Are they more likely to get lost?). In this tutorial, we will give you an overview of all the functionality available on the Manufacturers page.
