[FAS_equipment_management] Update on Duplicate asset creation issue

Good Afternoon, The Programmers confirmed along with help from Mary Walsh and Lisa Wilkes Ball that if you use the Firefox browser, a duplicate Asset will not be created. This is true whether you create the Asset 1) from a particular transaction or 2) apart from any transaction. This is now the workaround everyone should be using: Equipster users should use Firefox when creating an Asset, either from a transaction or apart from any transaction. They should not use Internet Explorer for this purpose. Unfortunately, this will cause a bit of inconvenience to people who use Internet Explorer for other tasks, since they will have to switch over to Firefox to use Equipster, but at least they will not have to worry about creating duplicate Assets. Please contact me with any questions you may have regarding this issue.
