Asset check in and check out is a feature that allows organizations to manage the borrowing and returning of equipment. This feature is essential in maintaining an inventory of assets and keeping track of the equipment's location and condition. It also helps in reducing the costs of lost or damaged equipment.
To use this feature, you need to set up your Inventory Items. You can assign equipment to a user, set due dates for when the equipment should be returned, and add notes. The system will check out the asset to the user and update the inventory record.
When the asset is returned, the user can check it back in, and the system will update the Inventory Item. You can also track the history of who checked out the asset, when it was checked out, and when it was checked back in. This feature helps in keeping an accurate record of the equipment usage and identifying any patterns of misuse or theft.
