Managing Assets

Assets in FixedAsset Pro are anything that have an asset tag. Asset tags are always unique, and are meant to be used with barcode labels affixed to the assets themselves - although it's perfectly fine to use FixedAsset Pro without ever using asset labels. Use FixedAsset Pro however works best for you.

While assets have a set of required and optional fields, you can also create your own Custom Fields for your assets to track additional information that FixedAsset Pro itself doesn't account for.

Best Practices

📘Checking out assets to non-people

While it is possible within FixedAseet Pro to check assets out to targets other than users, for example checking an asset out to a location, or another asset, we discourage this practice.

One of the primary benefits of using an asset management system is that you always have someone who is accountable for an item. A location cannot be held responsible if an asset is broken or goes missing, so it's disadvantageous to your accountability chain to assign assets to targets that are not actually people.
