Add it

Step 1: Go to Assets and choose Add an asset.
Step 2: Under What it is, give it a Name and choose its Type. Add the Serial number.
Leave Asset tag blank to use the asset number. If the type has a warranty period, OGDESK works out the end date from the purchase date.
Step 3: Under Where it is, choose who it is Held by and its Location.
Step 4: Fill in What it cost if you track it, then choose Add asset.

Move this asset changes who holds it and where it is. Giving an asset in stock to somebody marks it In use automatically.
Move it on lists the statuses it can go to next: In stock, In use, Reserved, In repair, Retired, Lost and finally Disposed.
The Tickets card lists every ticket about it. Raise a ticket about this starts one with the asset already filled in.
Filter the list by warranty to see what is about to run out.
