By default, there are five asset states in AssetExplorer. You can also create new asset states.
  1. Go to Admin > Asset Management > Asset State.
  2. Click New.
  3. Provide the following information:
    1. Name: Provide a unique name for asset state.
    2. Requires Ownership: Allow users to associate an asset to a user, department, or another asset when the asset is moved to this state.
    3. Requires Scan: Allow assets in this state to be scanned.
    4. Description: Explain the usage or purpose of asset state.
  4. Click Save or Save and Add New.

Edit or Delete Asset States

  1. Click beside an asset name to edit or delete it.
  2. To bulk-delete, select the asset states and click on the toolbar.

 Default asset states cannot be deleted.  
 The Requires Ownership field is not configurable for default asset states.
