Assigning an asset
Hand an asset to an employee from the asset's details page. The assignment takes effect immediately and the asset moves to the Assigned status.
-
Asset Management — Open the Asset Management group in the menu.
-
All Assets — Then choose All Assets.
-
Assign Asset — On an Available asset, click Assign Asset at the top right.
-
Employee — Required. Pick the person receiving the asset.
-
Condition — New, Good, Fair, Poor, or Damaged.
-
Notes — (Optional) Any remarks about the hand-over.
-
Assign Asset — The asset moves to Assigned and shows under Current Assignment.
Steps
- In the left menu, open Asset Management → All Assets.
- Find the asset (it must be Available) and click the view (eye) action to open its details.
- Click Assign Asset at the top right. A panel slides in from the right.
- Choose the Employee to assign the asset to (required).
- Set the Condition at Assignment — New, Good, Fair, Poor, or Damaged.
- Optionally add Notes about the hand-over.
- Click Assign Asset.
What you'll see
The asset's status changes to Assigned, the employee appears under Current Assignment, and a new entry is added to Assignment History and the Activity Timeline.
Tips
- The Assign Asset button only appears when the asset is Available and has no assignment in progress.
- To hand the asset back later, use Return Asset on the same page — see Returning an asset.
Troubleshooting
- "Select an employee" — you must pick an employee before you can assign the asset.
- The assignment is rejected — the asset may no longer be available (someone else may have assigned it). Reopen the asset's details to check its current status.
