Updated Sep 28, 2026 · 3 min read
Prerequisites
The “create” permission. Finance fields also need the “finance” permission.
  1. Open Register → Assets → Add asset

    Give the asset a unique asset number (tag number) and a clear name.

  2. Set category, location and custodian

    Pick the category, then the site, building, floor and room, the department and the custodian.

  3. Add identity details

    Serial number, model, manufacturer, supplier, invoice reference, condition and warranty expiry.

  4. Add finance details

    Acquisition and in-service dates, purchase cost, residual value, useful life and depreciation method. If you don’t hold the finance permission these fields are hidden and the category defaults apply.

  5. Fill in custom fields and save

    Any custom fields defined for all assets, or for this category, appear on the form. Required ones must be filled in.
