Usability

Assets has been designed to fulfil the use cases we could think of. If you have additional use cases for assets, please reach out and we can integrate them.

Securable Permission Model

Access to assets, and the ability to create, read, update, or delete them is controlled through a combination of roles and group-based permissions. Assets within Assets are secured at the inventory level. Additional information can be found within our documentation on access control 🔗.

Automated Actions

Actions are preconfigured, automated changes to the attributes of assets. Administrators create actions for highly repeated tasks, such as checking in or checking out items, or updating certain attributes. These actions can then be run by users using an asset's label. When using Assets from a phone, a barcodee or QR code resolving to the asset's label can also be used to complete an action.
