Create assets one at a time from Assets → Create asset, or from the dashboard. Use Import for many assets at once.

The Create asset form. The Laptop attributes section comes from the Laptop asset type.

• Tag is pre-filled with the next tag, for example AP-00256. Leave it as is to use the automatic sequence from Settings → General, or type your own.
