Asset Dashboard Question

Raheem Pillay

Hello, 

Am messing around with the asset dashboard and I was wondering if the following is possible.

Say I have a widget showing me the number of in stock laptops we have in a bar chart. Is it possible to have some sort of indication or alert that tells me when in stock goes below a certain number.

So say I had in stock Laptops go below 10. Could I visualise this in some way on a dashboard. 

 

Thanks

Hi,

Assets dashboards:

• cannot define thresholds
• cannot trigger visual alerts
• have no conditional formatting

So ther eis no built-in "alert when cound < X" visualization in Assets itself.

As a workaround, you could create a scheduled automation rule to notify you when this happens:

1. Scheduled automation rule
2. Use Lookup objects: objectType = "Laptop" AND Status = "Available"
3. Use {{lookup.Objects.size}}
4. Condition: {{lookup.Object.size}} < 10
5. Action: Send email notification or send chat notification or add a comment to a tracking work item
