HR Selfservice Assets allows you to keep track of which employee has which "material".
"Material" can be very broad. For example laptop, software licences, smartphone, safety shoes, clothing, helmet, keys, access badges.
You decide which assets you need within your company. You can define separate properties for each asset.
So first set up a asset type (consider this as a template for the asset) where you define the properties.
Then you can use this asset type as a template to assign concrete assets to employees. The characteristics fields (e.g. brand, model, serial number) that you have set on the type level will then be available. You only need to fill in the value (e.g. HP, X120, ACB-123-AJU-122) for that specific asset.
How do you get started?
Decide which assets you want to track in HR Selfservice.
Laptops, telephones, access badges, etc.?
For each of these types of assets, you create an asset type. An asset type is a template in which you determine what information you want to keep on that asset.
- For a laptop, this could be brand, model, serial number, memory and hard disk.
- For shoes or clothing it could be only the size.
We have already set up a number of example asset types for you. You can change them to suit your needs.

Assign the actual assets to your employees.
Once you have set up an asset type, you can assign it to your employees.
Let's say you have set up the asset type "Laptop", then you will now assign specific laptops to your employees.
