Electronics

A shortcut into the asset register for looking at electronic equipment — computers, phones, printers and similar items.

What this screen is for

This opens the asset register with electronics in mind. The register itself is the same screen in each case; the Category filter at the top of it is what selects which category you are looking at, so pick your electronics category there to narrow the list. The table then shows only those assets with their status and who holds them.

Categories are defined by your company, so the exact name of the electronics category is whatever you set it to.

When to use it

Use it when auditing computing and electronic equipment — checking what is in circulation, what is unassigned, and what is due for replacement.

What you see on this screen

The register's own columns: Asset (name, asset number and serial number), Category, Status with the condition beside it, Assigned To, Value as the purchase price with the current value beneath, and the view, edit and delete actions.

Filters and actions

The menu link arrives carrying the category name, so the register opens already narrowed to it. A company that keeps no category by that name will see an empty list rather than the whole register — that is the honest answer, not a fault. Use the Category list under Show Filters to switch to a category you do keep, the Status list to narrow further, and the search box for a particular machine by name, asset number or serial number.
