Asset creation

Hi Guys, I am new in Web Help Desk and I need to know how to add, a model number as it is needed when you create a new asset.

Also can someone give me a brief breakdown of the relationship between clients, tickets and assets.

thanks

Peter

  • Dear Peter,

    To add a new model in assets we do the following:

    • Go into setup
    • Assets
    • Manufacturers & Models
    • If there is no manufacturer for this model we add the name
    • Click on manufacturer name
    • Click on tap Model Editor
    • Add new model

    If this is done you can use the new model under Assets (new)

    The way I understood the relationship between "Clients", "Assets" and "Tickets" is:

    Clients (users) can have assets assigned to them (the Pc they use). If a client opens a ticket, the asset that caused the incident (or for the request it was raised for) will be assigned to the ticket. This makes sense, because a client could have various assets assigned to them (PCs, laptops, tablets, printers, software packages...).

    Doing this, it is easy to see in WHD who is the user, what asset he/she is referring to in this case and what is the problem.

    Regards,

    Eberhard
