In Better HR, the Asset feature helps you track and manage what the company has assigned to employees — such as laptops, phones, uniforms, and other equipment. The system offers both preset asset fields and the flexibility to create custom ones that suit your company’s needs.

What You Can Do with the Assets Feature

  • Maintain a record of what’s given to each employee

  • Customize asset fields to track important details

  • Enable or disable fields based on your organization’s workflow

  • Add new asset entries and assign them to specific employees

Set Up and Add Assets

1. Go to Asset Settings

  • Click the user icon at the bottom-left corner of the sidebar

  • Select Settings

  • In the Settings tabs, click Assets

2. Review and Manage Asset Fields

  • You’ll see preset asset titles like:

    • Asset Description

    • Bought From

    • Serial Number

    • Assigned To

    • Remind To

    • Date Assigned

    • Date Purchased

    • Asset Code

    • Warranty Expires

    • Cost

    • Date of Disposal

  • If you don’t need certain fields, click on them to disable (they’ll turn from green to gray).

3. Create Custom Asset Fields

  • Scroll down and click Create Another Field

  • A pop-up will appear where you can:

    • Add a Field Label

    • Choose a Data Type (e.g., date, number, text, string, email)

This lets you tailor the asset form to your specific requirements.

4. Add a New Asset

  • From the Assets tab on the sidebar, go to Asset List

  • Click Add New Asset

  • A form will appear showing all enabled preset and custom fields

  • Fill in the details (e.g., who the asset is assigned to, serial number, assign/purchase date, etc.)

  • Click Confirm to save the record

Now your asset is added and linked to the assigned employee — keeping your company’s resources well organized and traceable.
