Configuration Sections

Custom Fields

Custom Fields let you record information on an asset beyond the default fields, such as a serial number, rack location, or model. Each custom field belongs to an asset type, so it appears only on assets of that type.

Configuration opens on this section. The Custom Fields list has these columns:

ColumnWhat it shows
Asset TypeThe asset type the field is added to, for example LAPTOP.
NameThe name of the field.
TypeThe kind of input the field takes, for example Text Field.
Created OnThe date the field was created.
ActionsThe pencil icon edits the field; the bin icon deletes it.

To add a field, click the + button above the list. To find one, type in the Search here box at the top right.

SMS

Configure SMS gateway settings for sending alerts and reminders via text messages.

Mail

Set up email server configuration (SMTP) for sending email notifications, reminders, and reports.

WhatsApp

Configure WhatsApp Business API integration for sending renewal reminders and audit notifications via WhatsApp.

Important: Ensure your SMS and email configurations are tested before enabling alert notifications. Incorrect settings may cause alerts to fail silently.
