Asset Name

This is the primary identifier for the asset.

It is good practice to include a serial number within the asset name to help make it easier to identify the correct asset.

 
Barcode

To use browser scanning, tap the (target icon) to populate the Barcode field and any custom fields that have been set up as 'Barcode' fields.

If you're using an external barcode scanner paired to your device, tap into any field for which you have a barcode, e.g. Model No or Serial No, and scan the item.

 
Date Created The date the asset was commissioned or entered into production/usage.
Allow Sub Assets
