Setting up the Asset Location extension

Setting up the Asset Location extension

This guide shows you how to switch on the Asset Location extension so you can record where each asset is physically kept. For what the extension does and why you'd use it, see Asset Location extension: what it does.

Install and enable

  1. Go to Settings → Marketplace Extensions.
  2. Find the Asset Location card (search for "asset location" if it's quicker), and click it to review the details and required permissions.
  3. Click Install to add it to your system.
  4. Click Enable to switch it on. Asset Location has no settings to fill in, so it activates immediately.

Settings

There's nothing to configure. Once enabled, the new fields simply appear on your assets, ready to use.

Using it day to day

Open any asset and you'll find a new Location section with five fields:

  • Site — the campus or building complex.
  • Building — the building within the site.
  • Floor — the floor or level.
  • Room — the room or zone.
  • Location Notes — any extra detail to pin down the exact spot.

Fill in whichever fields make sense for your premises and save the asset. When something moves, just update its location.

Turning it off

To stop using it, open the card and click Disable — your data is kept and you can re-enable any time. To remove it entirely, click Uninstall and confirm; this purges the location fields and their values from your assets.

Tip: agree on consistent names for your Site and Building values before you start — using "HQ" everywhere rather than mixing "HQ", "Head Office", and "Main" makes your assets far easier to filter and search later.
