Snipe it

What is Snipe it?

Snipe-IT is a Free Open Source (FOSS) project built on Laravel 5.4 . Snipe-IT was
made for IT asset management, to enable IT departments to track who has
which laptop, when it was purchased, which software licenses and accessories
are available, and so on.

Asset Tags:
Asset tags are a unique identifier for assets within your system. Each one must
be unique.

Checkin/Checkout:
Checking in and checking out are two primary concepts within Snipe-IT. When
you checkout an asset, license or accessory, you’re marking them as being in
the possession of someone else. This means that they cannot subsequently be
checked out to another person until they are checked back in. This prevents
“double-booking” assets, where one asset has been promised to or assigned to
multiple people.
When an employee leaves your company, or if an asset, license or accessory is
not functioning properly, you would check it back in. Checking it back in
indicates that it’s back in your possession, or potentially out for repair. It’s up to
you to decide what status to assign it, based on the condition of the asset.

Status Labels
Status labels are used to describe the state of the asset. You can add as many
status labels as you’d like. Each status label will have one of four characteristics
that describe the state of assets with that status label:

Status Label Type

1) Undeployable-These assets cannot be assigned to anyone.
2) Deployable-These assets can be assigned to people
3) Archived-These assets cannot be assigned to people, and will only show
up in the Archived view.
4) Pending-These assets can not yet be assigned to anyone.

You can perform actions such as checkin/ checkout, edit, delete.

Column Selection:
In most of the table-based interfaces in Snipe-IT, you have the option of
showing or hiding specific columns, so that columns you don't care as much
about don't take up space on your screen, and columns you do care about are
easily visible.
To use this feature, simply click on the icon that looks like a split-pane window
in the top-right of the table interface. Checking and unchecking the checkmarks
next to the column name will show and hide the columns accordingly.

Create new accessory:

When you click on create new, you can find the page in the below screenshot.
Where you have to provide the details about the accessory which you want to
add and click save to create it. When you click save new accessory will be
added and it will direct you to the display page where it will be listed in the list
of accessories.
