Assets reference

The actual list of fields, tabs, and conditions in the Assets module. For step-by-step actions, see Working with assets. For how everything is organized, see Assets: how it works.

Every asset has the base fields regardless of its type.

FieldRequiredDescription
Asset typeyesDetermines the set of remaining fields
NamenoAsset name
Inventory numberyesUnique number; may be filled in automatically
Assignyes (on creation)Owner: Location or Employee
NotesnoFree-form text

When creating an asset, the owner is selected in the Assign block; when editing, this block is absent.

These fields appear in the form and on the card only if they are enabled in the field display settings of the selected asset type (see Asset types). The fields are grouped by form sections: Characteristics, Dates, Finances, Purchase.

The serial number is checked for uniqueness: on a duplicate, the system shows “this serial number already exists in the system.” Besides these fields, you can attach custom fields to an asset type — they appear as a separate form section and on the card.

The asset page also shows the asset’s photo gallery.

On the Audit tab, each record shows: “Audit name,” “Date of audit,” “Checked by,” “Planned quantity,” and “Actual quantity.”

The list has search and a filter by lifecycle status. Assets with children can be expanded.

The lifecycle, operational statuses, and conditions are configured by the administrator. The default values are in Asset statuses and conditions. Default conditions: New · Good · Satisfactory · Poor · Damaged · Non-functional.

The Action button in the card header opens a menu. The set of items depends on the asset’s current owner and lifecycle status.

ItemWhen available
Check OutAsset is not with an employee
CheckIn/CheckOutAsset is not with an employee
Check InAsset is with an employee
Send to serviceAsset is not in maintenance
Return from serviceAsset is in maintenance

For an asset with the “Pending Disposal” status, the action menu is empty. If the licenses module is enabled, the menu also has a license assignment item. The operations themselves are described in Asset operations.

The Audit tab additionally depends on the permission to view audits (audits.view).
