# Finding a Specific Type of Asset in Perspio
## This guide outlines the methods to locate assets based on their type within the Perspio platform.
### Overview
In Perspio, assets can be categorized by types, such as vehicles, machinery, or equipment. Identifying and managing assets by their type is essential for efficient operations, reporting, and maintenance scheduling.

### Method 1: Using the Assets Module Filters
The **Assets Module** provides filtering capabilities to narrow down assets by various criteria, including asset type.

- Click on the **Filter** icon to open the filter settings panel.
3. **Select Asset Type**:
- In the filter panel, locate the **Asset Type** dropdown.
- Select the desired asset type(s) from the list.
4. **Apply Filters**:
- Click **Apply** to filter the asset list based on the selected type(s).
5. **Review Results**:
- The asset list will update to display only assets matching the selected type(s).
***Note:** You can export the **filtered list** by selecting the **List View** andclicking on the **Export** button, choosing your preferred format (CSV or Excel).*

### Method 2: Utilizing the Condition Search Feature
The **Condition Search** feature allows for more advanced queries, including filtering assets by specific attributes like asset type.
### Steps:
1. **Navigate to the Search Module**:
- From the main dashboard, go to the **Search** module.
2. **Initiate a New Condition Search**:
- Select **Condition Search**.
- Click on **New Condition** to start building your query.
3. **Define the Condition**:
- In the condition builder, select the field corresponding to asset type (e.g., **Asset Type**).
- Choose the appropriate operator (e.g., **Equals**, **Contains**).
- Enter the specific asset type you are searching for.
4. **Execute the Search**:
- Click **Run** to execute the search.
- The results will display assets matching the defined condition.
5. **Save or Export Results**:
- If this is a search you'll perform regularly, click **Save** to store the condition for future use.
- To export the results, use the **Export** button and select your preferred format.

### Method 3: Accessing Asset Types via API
For developers or users requiring programmatic access, Perspio provides API endpoints to retrieve assets by type.
### Steps:
1. **Retrieve Asset Types**:
- Use the `GET /assets/v3/types` endpoint to obtain a list of all asset types.
2. **Filter Assets by Type**:
- With the desired asset type ID, use the `GET /assets/v3/info` endpoint, applying filters to retrieve assets of that specific type.
3. **Authentication**:
- Ensure you have the necessary API credentials and access tokens to authenticate your requests.
***Note:** Detailed API documentation and usage examples are available on the [Perspio Developer Hub](https://developers.perspio.io/reference/get-asset-types?utm_source=chatgpt.com).*
