Add an asset
Register an asset in Inventory so the team knows it exists, what state it's in, and where it lives. The only required fields are the tag and the category.
Before you start
Create a category before the first asset
You can't create an asset without a category — the form answers "A categoria é obrigatória" (Category is required), and a new team starts with none. Create one in Categories, or register the asset from a device, which offers to create the "Endpoints" category automatically.

The tag identifies the asset physically — for example,

Assigning to a person doesn't happen on this form: after creating, use Atribuir (Assign) on the asset detail — see Assign, return, and track. You can also open this dialog from any page with the Novo ativo (New asset) action in the command palette.
