Asset details and configuration items
Every asset record holds a structured set of configuration details — hardware, networking, purchase, and lifecycle data. This article is a reference to what each section captures and how SummitPSA derives status indicators from it.
Field reference
| Section | Fields |
|---|---|
| Identity | name, asset type, auto-assigned asset_number |
| Hardware | make, model, serial_number, asset_tag |
| Operating system | os_name, os_version |
| Network | ip_address, mac_address |
| Purchase | purchase_date, purchase_price, vendor |
| Warranty & lifecycle | warranty_expiry, warranty_provider, warranty_auto_renew, eol_date (end of life), eos_date (end of support) |
| Other | status, managed flag, internal notes |
Lifecycle status
The status field controls where an asset appears in lists. Available values are active, in_storage, loaned_out, awaiting_repair, and decommissioned. The asset list defaults to showing only active assets.
Managed flag
Marking an asset as managed indicates it falls under an active service agreement. You can filter the asset list to managed assets only, and the count appears in the dashboard statistics.
Derived indicators
SummitPSA computes two read-only indicators from your dates:
- Warranty status — expired if past, expiring within 90 days, otherwise ok.
- End-of-life status — eol if past, approaching within 180 days, otherwise ok.
To decommission an asset, use the Decommission action on its detail page; this sets the status to decommissioned and leaves any linked tickets untouched.
