ITAM / Asset Groups
Asset Groups
Bundle devices into Engineering and Sales fleets so Carlos can compare counts, spot gaps, and prep quarterly audit reports without manual spreadsheets.
Real-world scenario
Carlos Reyes · IT Admin at Bluewave Labs
Maya needs Engineering vs Sales laptop counts before the Q2 audit. Carlos maintains Engineering Laptops and Sales Laptops asset groups and runs Compare to highlight three MacBooks missing from the Engineering group.
Before you begin
- ITAM access to Physical Assets → Asset Groups
- Devices registered and tagged consistently (department, workplace)
Overview
Asset groups organize devices and inventory into collections, by department, project, compliance scope, or refresh cohort. Open them from ITAM → Physical Assets → Asset Groups. Groups are views on top of device records: adding Sophie's MacBook to Engineering Laptops doesn't change her assignment, it just makes fleet reporting and comparison easier.
Create a group

Open ITAM → Physical Assets → Asset Groups
You'll see existing groups, or an empty state if Carlos is setting up Engineering vs Sales fleets for the first time.
- 2
Click New Asset Group
Enter a clear name and short description. Example: Engineering Laptops. Active MacBooks assigned to Engineering.
- 3
Add members by search or bulk selection
Add individual devices (Sophie's MacBook) or pull from inventory types. Membership is logical, it does not change device assignment or workplace.
- 4
Save and review the group detail view
See member list, counts, and quick actions. Add or remove members anytime without deleting the group.
- 5
Compare groups when you need a fleet diff
Use Compare to put Engineering Laptops next to Sales Laptops before Maya's quarterly review or a refresh budget meeting.
Group detail view
Open a group to see every member asset, aggregate stats, and actions to add or remove items. Carlos checks Engineering Laptops after each onboarding wave to ensure new hires like Sophie appear in the group Maya uses for dashboards.
Compare groups
Compare Asset Groups shows two groups side-by-side with shared members, assets only in the first group, and assets only in the second. Carlos runs Engineering Laptops vs Sales Laptops before quarterly audit to confirm neither fleet has stragglers or duplicate entries across departments.
