Equipment

  • Who has it?: pick the employee in Holder, or leave it empty and write where the item is in Location. A holder starts the item’s history from today.
  • Purchase: the Purchase date, the cost, the Supplier and the Warranty until date. You get a reminder before the warranty ends.
  • More options: Manufacturer and model, Serial number, Quantity and Condition.

A Quantity above 1 makes the asset a batch, for example 20 chairs. A batch can’t be given to a person.

Software and subscriptions

  • Cost: the price and the Billing: Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly or One-off. Then the Next payment.
  • Contract: turn on It has a fixed term for a contract that renews on a date. See Renewals and cancel-by dates.
  • Seats: the Number of seats and the People who get one. Leave it empty for something the whole company uses, like the internet line.
  • Licence key, under More options: it is stored encrypted and never shown in lists or exports.

For every asset

Under More options:

  • Responsible: the person who gets the reminders. It is you by default.
  • Remind me: how long before a date you are reminded, from On the day to 30 days before, or Never. The default is 14 days before.
  • Notes and Tags.

Add photos and files

Equipment has a Photos section: drop pictures of the item, its serial label or any damage. On a phone, you can take them with the camera. The first photo is shown in the list and at the top of the asset’s page.

Drop the invoice, the warranty or a manual in Files, in the form or on the asset’s page. Any file up to 10 MB; its name is enough, there is nothing else to fill in. Remove a photo or a file with the cross next to it.

Common questions

Can I change the kind later?

No. Equipment and subscriptions have different fields. Delete the asset and add it again with the right kind.

Who can open an asset's files?

Everyone who can see the asset: the Business owner, and every Member with the Assets permission. The files are not shared with employees.

Can several people share one licence key?

Yes. The key belongs to the subscription. Only people who can change assets can reveal or copy it, and each time is recorded in the asset’s Activity.
