New feature: Asset Catalog

Get a clear overview of asset availability and stock levels with our new Catalog feature — helping you to streamline your IT asset inventory management, including equipment allocation and purchasing decisions.

What’s new?

Easily monitor asset availability and identify items that are low in stock and need reordering with our new Catalog functionality. 

The Catalog allows you to group assets into relevant categories, and display inventory levels based on asset status.

The Catalog is fully customizable to meet your specific needs.

How does it work?

You must be a Setyl Owner to build and edit the Catalog. Owners, Managers and Supervisors can all view the Catalog. 

Here’s how to build and add assets to your Catalog:

Step 1. Open your Catalog

Navigate to the new Catalog menu item on the left side of your Setyl account.

Note: To accommodate this and many more upcoming features, we’ve reorganized the main menu. You will now find Invoices and Documents under Reports, and Support in your avatar dropdown menu on the top right.

Step 2. Create a new Category

Click + Add new Category on the top right. Enter a name for your category and select an icon to represent it.

For example, you might want to create a category for “Apple laptops,” “Developer laptops,” “28-inch monitors” or “Sales headsets.”

Step 3. Select the statuses to display

Choose which stock levels to include or exclude from your Catalog overview, based on asset status, to ensure a tailored view that suits your needs.

For example, you might only want to display “Available” assets, or view inventory levels for multiple status types.

Step 4. Add assets to your Category

You can add assets to your category in various ways, including:

• Via the Category profile: Open the Category profile in your Catalog overview, and select the assets you want to add.
• Via the Asset overview: For a quicker way to add multiple assets, navigate to Assets > All Assets, and use the filters to narrow down your selection. Bulk select the assets you want to add, and click Edit. This will open a side window. Scroll to Catalog Category and select the relevant category to which you want to add these assets.

You can verify whether an individual asset has been added to a Catalog Category by opening the asset profile, and going to the Overview tab > Status & Assignments > Catalog Category. 

Visit our support center for more on how to set up and use the Catalog.

What’s next?

The Catalog Categories will form part of our upcoming Onboarding Templates. These templates will allow you to create a checklist of assets and licenses to allocate to new employees, based on their role, location, seniority or other criteria.

In addition, the Catalog functionality marks the first step toward the introduction of our employee requests and approvals feature, which will enable end users to request assets and licenses directly through Setyl.

We hope you find this new Catalog feature helpful! Do you have any feedback? Share your ideas via your account manager or the Setyl roadmap in your account.
