An Asset Tag is a unique identifier for an Asset. You can create multiple asset tag configurations to support different asset types. Asset tags can also be used to generate QR codes.
To manage Asset Tags, go to Reference Data → Asset Tags.
Auto-incrementing asset tags
At the top of the Asset Tags page, use the Generate auto-incrementing asset tags toggle to control whether AssetIT creates asset tags automatically.
Auto-incrementing asset tags help automate default asset tag creation, reduce manual entry errors, and keep asset tagging consistent across your inventory.
-
Enabled: AssetIT automatically generates a new, unique asset tag each time a new asset is created, following the configured sequence.
-
Disabled: Users must enter asset tags manually when creating new assets.
List of asset tags
On the Asset Tags page, the list displays each asset tag configuration with the following details:

Indicates whether the configuration is used as the default for the next auto-incrementing tag. |
|

The text that appears before the auto-increment number. |
|
Next auto-increment |
The number that will be used for the next automatically generated asset tag. |
|
Length of Asset Tags |
The total number of characters in the generated asset tag. |
|

Create a new asset tag
Click + Asset Tag to add an asset tag configuration and define the format and rules for generated asset tags.
Configure the asset tag details:
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Name |
Enter a clear name for the configuration, especially if you manage multiple tagging schemes. |
|
Default |
Turn this on to use the configuration as the default for new asset tags. Only one configuration can be the default at a time. |
|
Next auto-increment |
Set the starting number for the sequence. For example, if you start at 100, the first generated tag uses 100 in its sequence. |
|
Prefix |
Enter the text that appears before the auto-increment number, such as “IT” for IT equipment. |
|
Length of asset tags |
Define the total length of each generated asset tag. AssetIT can add leading zeros to keep tags consistent. For example, with the prefix “IT”, length 6, and next auto-increment number 100, the generated tag could be “IT0100”. |
After you complete the required fields, click Submit to save the new asset tag configuration.
