What Is Asset-Linked Ticketing?
Asset-linked ticketing connects support tickets to specific IT assets (computers, servers, software licenses, etc.). This provides context, enables better diagnostics, and creates audit trails for asset lifecycle management.
How Asset-Linked Ticketing Works
- When a user reports an issue, the system identifies their asset
- All past tickets for that asset are visible
- Technicians can see the asset configuration and history
- Tickets contribute to asset-level performance tracking
Benefits
- Better diagnostics from asset history
- Identify defective or problematic assets early
- Track warranty and maintenance status
- Plan replacements based on ticket trends
- Support regulatory compliance for IT assets
Common Asset Types
- Computers and laptops
- Servers and network devices
- Software licenses and subscriptions
- Mobile devices
- Printers and peripherals
