Feature Request: Check out accessories/consumables to Asset/Location/User in quantities >= 1

[Puddl36lum]

Expected Behavior (or desired behavior if a feature request)

Check In/Check out accessories (Ethernet Cables, power cords etc) to an asset/user/location in bulk. Example: Building a server rack requires more than one Ethernet cable and power cord and should be checked out to the server rack asset.

---

Actual Behavior

Currently, you can only check out accessories and consumables one at a time, and can only be checked out to a user. This is fine in the case of consumables but accessories should have the option of checking out to an asset at the very least. Must treat cabling and such as components in order to get that functionality.

+1 Would love this to be able to check out monitors(accessories) to assets instead of users.

[joepitt91]

+1 Ability to check out Accessories to Assets would be really helpful.

We were hoping to be able to use this to manage the parts we have to send to facilities as well as the computers. However, not being able to create accessories and send them/checkout to a location kinda puts a damper on this.

Use Case: Location A calls and is installing 6 printers and need USB cable(s). We don't really care who they are going to but we do need to be able to charge/assign/checkout/whatever to that location for tracking.

Thanks for any consideration!

[joepitt91]

This is fine in the case of consumables

I'd argue that this option should be available for consumables too, e.g. most of the time you won't care who a pack of paper went to, just that Stationary Hub 1 (or Printer A) is using 5 times more than Stationary Hub 2 (or Printer B), so checkout to Location (or Asset) would seem helpful for consumables too

[MSWork79]

+1 need to checkout AC adapters accessories to locations.

[smksar]

Yes please, as we checkout small accessories to meeting rooms as well!

[Retrospector]

+1 It would be super awesome to check out mice and keyboards to the PCs they're plugged in to.

[hiboucochon]

+1 It's super useful to have this feature. We have 50+ scanners need to deploy at several locations and the only option now is create a location as an user.

[Panatus]

this will be very very helpful,

cable allocation on location. the number of cables used (meters, kilometers, pieces).

waiting for updates.. 👍

[kcarette]

We also need the option to check-out accessories & consumables to locations and not only to users. We have a large number of shops and all assets, accessories & consumables used there need to be linked to the shop and not to a shop employee.

We would really need this to link a wall-mount bracket or a desk stand to a monitor/screen.

I see this marked ready for dev, I hope it makes it into v5! Most recent rounds on top of checking out 25+ chargers to rooms, I'd like to be able to check out universal projector mounts to locations as well. I don't want to check them out as a component to an asset (the projector) because 99/100 times, the projector goes but the mount stays.

Being able to know which locations utilize which mounts would be spectacular.

[MSWork79]

+1 again, Need to checkout HDMI splitters/switches to rooms. $10-12ea, not worth tracking as an asset. Counts as infrastructure-related as it gives function to projectors/etc and won't typically follow a user around.

[boxcomrob]

+1 here, for us we need to be able to checkout batteries to the assets that use them

First, I must positively express gratitude for the great system that Snipe-IT is. I can appreciate the amount of effort that went into and continues to go into developing of such a system. We find the software perfect for use with managing serialized assets. I have read about several posts about users requests to have the ability to effectively manage multi quantity assets and there seems to be a few methods developed to manage this. However, I will say that I do not feel the current methods developed offer the capability that will most likely be needed by a lot users of this system. We too have a need to manage assets that are both serialized (uniquely identified, typically by a serial number), and assets that are non-serialized and generally managed through quantities.

I think the system would be further enhanced and meet the needs of a lot of people if assets had the ability to be checked out and in bulk with the ability of specifying multiple quantities on a non serialized asset. The developers would be best to design the accommodations for this change but I will offer suggestions to further depict our requirements.

• Add a boolean multi-quantity flag on the asset
• Add a quantity field on the asset if it is multi-quantity capable
• Add a grid like view for assets to be queued into the check in and check out screen; validation would be useful on the check out screen to ensure that quantities could not be checked out that are not available

Please let me know if you need any further information on the request and I greatly appreciate this request being fulfilled or alternatives presented to satisfy this requirement.

5176 #5173 are related and also this one mentions deployment to location or asset which I wanted to report too

also bulk update of accessories is needed

[hatimdegani]

yes I support this .

[hatimdegani]

/YES/ I really do

This is currently in development

[chaibi]

+1. We have non-serialized items (components and accessories) we need to check into locations, so this would be a great addition. It makes it much more time consuming for us to check out one and one, and to do this towards users instead of locations, which would be more correct in our case.

[coreyjackson]

I’m very happy to see this feature is under development. Thank you for addressing the feedback. I think this feature will add substantial value to the Snipe-IT product.

[fumunda]

Bump

[perezalvarezhi]

+1 I'm mainly interested in checking out more than 1 of the accessories/consumables but also being able to check out to locations sounds good.

Im happy it is under dev, thank you for all the work!

[Payden-Pringle]

Checking a mice, keyboard, & monitor out to a computer would be nice.

[Knightrain0]

Providing the freedom to be able to choose to assign accessories to either users, locations, assets. Would make a huge difference and very nice feature to have.

[kclove18]

+1 on this, glad its in development! Setting up our system now, any idea on the timeline for implementation? If it's around the corner I may just wait, otherwise it's going to take a lot of button clicks to get dozens of accessories assigned...

Btw thanks for providing such a great system! So far I've been really impressed with the functionality and capabilities.

[senzou]

I just started using this product a few days ago and love it so far, however, I would definitely appreciate having the option to mass check-in/check-out accessories as it is greatly beneficial to our company at certain times of the year.

Not to sound redundant, but any idea on when this feature might be rolled out?

[MSWork79]

Casual update of need. Have some more custom mounts I need to check out to a location as opposed to asset.

[hatimdegani]

When will this feature request will be taken seriously.#5140

Still laughing at hatimdegani's expense.

I know was a good kick..but on a serious note not a laughing matter at all. 💯 ;-)

[MSWork79]

I feel ya. It's definitely an important feature. But unless I'm dropping some $$ to get priority feature requests, I wholly accept "it gets done when it gets done" for a free open source project such as this.

I actually contacted them and offered to pay for this feature as a CR.. They refused that.. Imagine..

[thiago-schmid]

Will we see this feature in a near future or there is no confirmation about it actually being implemented?

Thanks!
