Adding a warranty template is not required when creating a manufacturer. To add a warranty template(s):
- Click “+Add Warranty Template”
- Select the type of warranty.
- Enter the length of the warranty.
PRO TIP: The more you define an asset from a particular manufacturer, the more selective the warranty becomes.

To submit the warranty template, click the “Add Warranty Template” button.
Once a warranty template has been added to Woven, you can add it to all assets that fit the requirements for the template. To bulk add the template, hover over the newly added warranty template and click the green “Apply” button, not the red trash can button. A pop-up will appear and let you know how many assets this template will be assigned to.
