At present, AssetIT supports adding URLs exclusively for SnipeIT, but will include options for numerous other legacy resources in future updates.
Select Resources: Choose the resources you want to transfer from SnipeIT to AssetIT. For each main resource, AssetIT also supports migrating their histories and checkout data.

Important Note:
If the checkout process does not find the specified target, it will skip checking out the resource.
For optional fields (e.g., department), if the data is not available, these fields will be left blank and skipped during the process.
Please ensure all resources have been successfully migrated once the process is complete. If you encounter any issues, contact the support team of either SnipeIT or AssetIT.
