New features and product improvements from the team at Assetbots.
New Feature
A new template is available when generating asset tags for printing: Avery L7651. This template generates 38.1mm x 21.2mm tags, 65 per sheet. The template uses standard A4 sheets and is paper that can be printed with a standard laser printer.
Avery L7651 labels can be purchased easily from multiple countries, including the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

UI Improvement
Our public designer, available at https://www.assetbots.com/asset-tags, now supports a new Skip parameter. You can use this to tell the designer to skip the specified number of labels in the template.
This is useful if you want to print a small number of labels at a time and reduce waste by re-using label sheets.
For example, you can print a single label to replace a worn one, keep the sheet, then print another single label in the future by entering a Skip value of 1.
Our in-app designer also supports the new Skip parameter.
Additionally, we’ve added the ability to fully customize your tags when using the in-app designer in New assets mode.
Where previously you could only select a category and generate tags using that category’s tag settings, now you can leave the category blank and setup your tags on the fly.
Happy tracking!
UI Improvement
We’ve added handy links to the Import Review screen that take you directly to filtered lists of imported records.
This works for Assets, Checkouts, Locations and People. If any of those records were imported successfully, a View assets link will appear that will take you directly to the relevant list, filtered to just this import.
The links will open in a new tab so you can open multiple lists if you need to.
New Feature
We’re excited to announce our new Dell Warranty Sync integration! Once enabled, you are now able to automatically sync warranty details for all your Dell devices.
We’d typically write a setup guide to help you get started, but we think this integration deserves its own video – so check it out below!
Happy tracking!
New Feature

Avery L4778 labels can be purchased easily from multiple countries, including the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

New Feature
We’ve created a new field type called Age that can be added to any record that supports custom fields (e.g., Assets, People, Locations, Repairs, and Reservations).
This is our first Computed field, and we’re excited about the types of abilities we can unlock for our users using this concept in the future.
A computed field is one that does not directly hold any data, but instead uses data in other fields to generate a value. For Age fields, you specify another Date or DateTime field and it will calculate the difference between now and the related field’s value.
Assetbots supports specifying the unit of calculation (either days, weeks, months or years) as well as the direction (past or future).
Two common examples of using this field now ship with our Business and Technology templates:
It’s super easy to create your own Age fields too:
Please let us know what other kinds of computed fields you’d like to see (we already have a number on our roadmap but would love your input too!).

New Feature
Our asset tag designers now support generating traditional 1D barcodes for all our templates.
Customers have requested that we generate 1D barcodes so they can use our tag designer with their external barcode scanners, not all of which support 2D variants like QR codes.
We’re happy to support this update in our public designer as well as in-app.
To use the public designer, visit https://www.assetbots.com/asset-tags. Select Edit Tags and switch Tag type to Barcode. Click Done and your preview will be updated with 1D barcodes.
To use the in-app designer, visit the Reports tab, then choose Asset Tags. Switch Tag type to Barcode and then select the assets you want to print tags for.
We hope this update is helpful for your organization. If you have any questions, please chat with us in-app or email [email protected].
Happy tracking!
UI Improvement
We’ve made adding assets with the scanner even faster. Scan any barcode or QR code on an asset that is not in your database and you will be prompted to add it. With this update, you will be immediately returned to the scanner again after adding the asset.
Even better: the next asset you add will remember the previously chosen category, so there are even less clicks if you’re adding a series of similar items.
Happy tracking!
New Feature
During check-in, your users can mark items as in need of repair with one tap. If a repair is requested, they will be prompted for a description of the problem.
A new repair will be created with a status of Needs Repair. This will prevent those assets from being checked out again until the repair is completed or canceled.
Requesting repairs by kiosk is disabled by default. To enable, edit a kiosk definition and select Yes for Request Repairs?
Also shipping with this update is the ability to add assets if they are missing, right from a kiosk. To enable, edit a a kiosk definition and select Yes for Add Assets?
New Feature
We're excited to announce the release of Reservations, which allow you to schedule your equipment bookings in advance.
