Adding your first asset

How to add a hardware asset manually and what each field means.

Go to Dashboard → Assets and click Add Asset (or use the Quick Add button in the topbar). The form opens as a modal.

Required fields

  • Name — a descriptive name for the asset (e.g. "MacBook Pro 14" M3")
  • Category — select from Laptop, Desktop, Monitor, Phone, Tablet, Printer, Networking, Server, or Other
  • Asset Tag — your internal reference number (e.g. AST-0042). Shown in tables and exports.
  • Serial Number — the manufacturer's serial number. Useful for warranty claims.
  • Status — defaults to Available. Set to Deployed if it's already with someone.
  • Location — the office or site where the asset lives.
  • Assigned To — the employee currently using it. Setting this also sets status to Deployed.
  • Purchase Date & Cost — used in Spend Analysis reports.
  • Warranty Expiry — IT Trackr will alert you before this date lapses.
  • Notes — any additional context you want to record.

After saving

The asset appears in your list. Click its row to open the detail panel — a right-side drawer with three tabs: Details, Documents, and History. You can edit any field, upload documents, and view the full change history from here.
