Asset Configuration​

Here, you can configure the starting number and minimum required digits for the Asset ID of the Hardware, Software, Non-IT, and Consumable Asset types.

The ID of the Asset is defined based on the configured Starting Number. Also, you can view the Current Asset Number according to which you can define.

For example, if 100 is set as the Starting number and the minimum digit as 1. Now, when the Hardware Asset is created, its ID will be AST-100.
