Core Concepts
The ideas behind UniAsset — asset types, lifecycle, roles, and plans.
What Is an Asset in UniAsset?
What counts as an asset in UniAsset, how it differs from stock and consumables, and how to decide what is worth tracking individually.
Understanding the Four Asset Types in UniAsset
Assets, Asset Stock, Consumables and Document Assets — what each module is for, how they differ, and how to choose the right one.
Asset Lifecycle Stages — From Creation to Disposal
The five stages every asset moves through in UniAsset, what happens at each one, and how the append-only history ties them together.
Understanding Asset Status in UniAsset
The three built-in asset statuses, how custom statuses extend them, and how status differs from availability, criticality and archiving.
Assignment, Location and Check-Out — When to Use Each
The difference between assigning an asset, placing it in a location, and checking it out. The most common modelling mistake in asset management, explained.
Categories, Sites, Locations and Departments Explained
The four structures that organize your assets in UniAsset — what each one is for, how hierarchies work, and how to avoid overlapping them.
What Are Sites?
How Sites work in UniAsset, how they differ from Locations, and how assets relate to both.
Site, Location and Asset Organization
How Sites, Locations, and Assets nest in UniAsset — the physical hierarchy without projects or reservations.
Roles and Permissions in UniAsset
The five UniAsset roles and what each can do, how roles differ from plan capabilities, and how to choose the right role for each person.
Understanding Plans and Capabilities
How UniAsset plans work: what Nova, Orbit, Odyssey and Cosmos each unlock, how gating is enforced, and why a downgrade never destroys your data.
How Notifications and Alerts Work in UniAsset
Every condition UniAsset monitors, how alerts are delivered by plan, why you only get one alert per condition, and how read state works across your team.
Immutable Incident Snapshots — Why the Evidence Cannot Change
How UniAsset locks an asset's complete state at the moment an incident is reported, and why that makes the record usable in claims and audits.
