|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asset ID (Auto-Generated) | Text, Auto-incremental (e.g., A-2024-001) | Unique identifier assigned automatically upon entry. Begins with "A-", followed by year and sequential number. | ||||||||
| Asset Name | Text (up to 50 characters) | Description of the asset (e.g., "Laptop - Dell XPS 13"). | ||||||||
| Type | Dropdown List: Hardware, Software, Furniture, Tools, Equipment | Classifies the asset for filtering and reporting. | ||||||||
| Department | Dropdown List (Predefined: HR, IT, Finance, Operations) | Indicates which department owns or uses the asset. | ||||||||
| Assigned To | Text (Employee Name or Role) | Name of employee currently using the asset. | ||||||||
| Date Acquired | Date (mm/dd/yyyy) | When the asset was purchased or received. | ||||||||
| Cost ($) | Number (Currency format, 2 decimal places) | Purchase price in USD. | ||||||||
| Depreciation Rate (%) | Number (0–100, 1 decimal place) | Average annual depreciation rate (e.g., 20% for electronics). | ||||||||

Data Validation and Formulas Required
- **Asset ID:** Use a custom formula with `=TEXT(YEAR(TODAY()),"0000") & "-" & TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"00#")` in a helper cell, then combine with `="A-"&[formula]` for auto-generation. - **Current Value:** Formula:`=IF(OR([@Cost]="", [@Date Acquired]=""), "", [@Cost] * (1 - [@Depreciation Rate]) ^ DATEDIF([@Date Acquired], TODAY(), "Y"))` - **Status Color Coding:** Conditional formatting based on status (see below). - **Auto-fill Date of Service:** Use `=TODAY()` for last service date if no previous value.
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES
To enhance visibility and quick identification, the template includes these conditional formatting rules:- Status Highlighting:
- Active: Green background with white text.
- In Repair: Orange background.
- Lost/Decommissioned: Red background with strikethrough font.
- Aging Assets: Highlight rows where the age (in years) exceeds 3 years in yellow, and over 5 years in red.
- Low Current Value: If current value is below $100, apply a light gray background for attention.
MULTI-LEVEL DASHBOARD (MANAGER VIEW)
The Manager Dashboard is the strategic nerve center of this template. It presents actionable insights using dynamic charts and summary KPIs.- KPI Cards: Display total assets, active vs inactive count, average cost per asset, and total asset value across departments.
- Bar Chart: "Assets by Department" – shows distribution of assets across HR, IT, Finance, etc.
