Add a new Asset Status

To better manage an organisation's assets, a status can be assigned to each asset.  Examples of asset statuses include

• Available
• Inactive
• Defective
• Decommissioned
• In Storage
• Missing
• Stolen

The above are examples only; an organisation can create and use whatever status values are best suited to its operation.  The following is the procedure to create a new Asset Status.

PROCEDURE

1. Access the Administrator Settings  by clicking on the Tools icon on the home page .

2. Click on ASSETS icon 

3. Click on ASSET STATUS icon.  

4. On this page, the user can delete an existing status or add a new status.

5. To add a new status select the "+" icon.
