Asset Options

Use the Asset options to configure settings used for automatic generation of Asset IDs

Asset ID

Asset IDs may be auto-generated based on the options selected here. See the description of each option below.

Asset Options

Type + Number

This option will generate an asset ID based on the selected Asset Type followed by the selected separator and an auto-incrementing number. e.g. If the Asset Type selected is Printer and the selected separator is a “-” then the resulting Asset ID would be Printer-1. The next newly created printer asset would become Printer-2 and so on.

Prefixed number

This option will generate an asset ID based on a prefix code followed by an auto-incrementing number. e.g. If the Prefix entered is PRD and the selected separator is a “:” then the resulting Asset ID would be PRD:1. The next newly created printer asset would become PRD:2 and so on.

None

Selecting none disables auto ID generation and the Asset ID must always be manually entered when creating new assets.
