Asset types and custom fields in AssetPilot
Asset types define what you track for each kind of asset. A laptop needs CPU and memory; a desk needs size and room. Open Configure → Asset types.

Select a card to edit it, or Create a type.

Rules that protect your data
- Removing a field hides its values on existing assets but doesn't delete them.
- Types in use can't be deleted. Move or delete the type's assets first. The editor shows how many assets block the deletion.
- Tag and serial number are unique for every type.
