11.1.5  Adding an asset status

You can add an item to Asset Status. By doing so, you can match the management of asset statuses to the operation being performed.

To add an asset status:

1. Display the Asset Field Definitions view in the Settings module.

2. In Custom Fields (Hardware Assets), click the Edit button in Asset Status.

3. In the Edit Custom Filds dialog box, click the Add button.

4. In the Add New Item dialog box, enter the item name, and then click OK.

   For example, enter Solving Trouble.

5. In the Edit Custom Filds dialog box, click OK.

The asset status item is added. Note that you can add up to 100 items that are different from the default.

In the Edit Custom Filds dialog box, you can edit, remove, or sort the existing items.

Tip

You cannot edit or remove the default items (Unconfirmed, In Stock, In Use, and Expired). In addition, you cannot remove asset statuses that were added by an administrator and saved as a filter condition.

Tip

You can also add an asset status by selecting Add New when setting the hardware asset information.
