Assets by Lapine Studios is fully released! We have just launched the full release of our asset register. We visited some of the features in our original post, but here is a bigger peek at what Assets can do for you.

Leverage Metadata

Assets lets you leverage asset metadata. Assets has several built-in ‘core’ attributes for assets: Status, Location, Holder, Template, and Inventory, but you can extend this as far as you want by adding metadata to your assets. You can add dates such for services, additional information such as serial numbers, and tracking information such as when they were last scanned.

Here’s what an asset page looks like in Assets:

Leverage Actions to Standardise Asset Creation

Actions allow creating assets with a defined set of properties, leveraging metadata and user input. By using Actions, assets created within Assets can be forced to have a consistent representation. New phones created using the action below will always have a ‘serial_number’ entered by the user, and always have the ‘creation_date’ field populated. Users using this form (with the correct permissions) can easily enrol new laptops and phones into the asset register.

When users with permissions to use the action and the permission to create on the ‘Personal Devices’ inventory want to invoke this action, they get an easy-to-use form like the one below.

Invoking the actions creates an asset, using our label schema, in the appropriate inventory, and with the appropriate metadata.

Feature Roadmap

We are looking to increase the features for Assets and would love your help to decide what to focus on. Our current roadmap contains the following items:

• Identify asset by scanning
• Deeper audit capabilities
• JSON-Based API access and API key management
