🎁 JSM Advent Calendar - Day 13: Assets / Insight (The Toy Inventory)

[#1]

🧸 The Master Ledger of Toys

We’ve mastered the communication side of the Service Desk. Now, let's talk about the stuff.

The Scenario:

Santa needs to know exactly how many wooden trains, dolls, and bicycles he has in the warehouse. If he promises a child a bike but realizes on Christmas Eve that the shelf is empty, it’s a disaster. He needs a live inventory, not a guess.

The Reality:

HR and IT aren't just about managing people; they are about managing the things people need to do their jobs. Laptops, monitors, security badges, corporate credit cards, and even office keys.

• Who has the spare MacBook?

• When does the software license expire?

• Did we get the building key back from the employee who left last month?

The JSM Solution:

Assets (formerly Insight). This isn't just a ticketing system; it's a database. You can build a "Master Ledger" right inside JSM.

• Create an Object Schema called "Employee Assets."

• Upload your list of laptops (Serial Numbers, Models).

• Map them to your list of Employees.

🎁 Tip of the Day:

This is your Single Source of Truth. Stop tracking company property in a "Shared Excel Spreadsheet" that hasn't been updated since 2019. By bringing assets into JSM, you can see exactly what hardware an employee has the moment they open a ticket.

❄️ Let’s chat: Be honest: If I asked you right now "Who has the projector?", how long would it take you to find the answer? Are you still relying on a messy spreadsheet to track your hardware?
