We maintain a unique serialized IT asset number with 2d barcodes for our primary IT based configurable assets. We record IT asset tag number on our IT asset record along with the hardware serial number.
I’ve been responsible for providing IT asset tags but I never really paid that much attention to what was on them other than a scannable barcode and asset number.
They contain a QR code, name of the company, Asset tag number, users full name and userid. I’ve been wanting to add serial number and configuration name as people identify the asset by different ways.
For hardware assets, our IT department assigns an asset number to each device. For software assets, the software asset management team assigns asset tags to each entitlement record.
