To link an existing item(s) to an item asset, click the expandable Item to Item Asset Relationship bar at the bottom of the Content section.

For a description of how this section operates, click the ‘i’ (information) icon next to the Item to Item Asset Relationship heading.

Perform a generic search for the desired item you would like to link to the item asset by clicking the Search button.

For a more specific search, type in any Keyword(s) or item title related to the desired item(s) you wish to locate. Click the Search button.
