Asset types let you group similar items and capture details that are useful for that kind of asset. Each type can have its own custom fields, which appear when you add or edit an asset of that type.
Create or choose an asset type
-
Open Asset Types
In Asset Management, open the options menu and choose Asset Types. Create a type for the items you want to track, or find an existing type in the list.
-
Choose a type kind
When creating or editing a type, choose its kind, such as General, IT or Key, then add custom fields for the details specific to your business.
Add custom fields
-
Open the field manager
On the asset type row, select the list-fields button. It shows how many custom fields the type currently has.
-
Add a field
Select Add, enter a field name and choose its field type. Depending on the type you choose, you can configure options for a select or multi-select field.
-
Set field behaviour
Choose whether the field is required and active, and set its display order. Save the field; it will be available on the create and edit forms for assets of this type.
-
Fill in the asset details
Open an asset of this type, choose Edit or add a new one, and enter values in the type-specific fields.
Choose field names that will stay useful. Examples include Equipment ID for IT assets, Cabinet or Key Number for keys, and Inspection Interval for tools. Deleting a custom field also deletes the values recorded for that field.
