Assets
The Assets module helps you keep track of company equipment — laptops, monitors, phones, furniture, and anything else you issue to employees. It supports full lifecycle management from procurement to disposal.
Key features
- Asset register — searchable database of all company equipment
- Check-in / check-out — assign and return equipment with a full audit trail
- QR codes — generate QR codes for each asset for quick lookup
- Barcode scanner — scan asset tags or QR codes using your device camera
- Warranty tracking — monitor warranty expiry dates with automatic alerts
- Issue reporting — employees can report problems with their assigned equipment
- Activity log — complete history of every action taken on each asset
- Assignment history — see who has had the asset over time
- CSV import/export — bulk import your existing register or export for reporting
- Image upload — attach photos of each asset
How it works
For employees
- Go to Assets from the sidebar
- The My Assets tab shows everything currently assigned to you
- Click any asset to see its details — model, serial number, condition, warranty status
- Report an issue if something isn't working — add a description and photos
For asset managers
- Switch to the All Assets tab to see the full register
- Search, filter, and sort by category, status, assignee, or condition
- Check out an asset to assign it to an employee
- Check in an asset when it's returned
- Add new assets individually or via CSV import
- View the activity log for a complete audit trail
QR codes and scanning
Each asset can have a QR code generated automatically. Print these and attach them to your equipment. Then use the barcode scanner (camera-based) to instantly look up any asset's details.
Admin setup
Asset categories
Set up categories from Admin > Asset Categories:
- Laptops
- Monitors
- Mobile phones
- Furniture
- Vehicles
- Software licences
Each category can have a unique prefix for asset tags (e.g. LAP-001, MON-001).
Permissions
Asset management requires the assets:manage permission. Employees can always view their own assigned assets, but only users with this permission can check assets in/out, add new assets, or edit existing ones.
