Asset Register: The core data table where every tracked asset is documented with detailed information including ID, description, acquisition date, current status (in use/under repair/retired), assigned user/team, and more.
Process Flow Documentation: A structured documentation of operational procedures tied to specific assets. Each process step is linked to relevant assets and responsibilities.
Maintenance Log: Records all maintenance activities (preventive, corrective), including dates, actions taken, technician notes, and next due dates.
Location & Custodian Map: Tracks where each asset is physically located and who is currently responsible for it (custodian).
Data Validation & Help Guide: A reference sheet with drop-down validation rules, column definitions, and user instructions.
