# Create and Manage Assets in the Asset Register

From the Asset Register dashboard, you can view, add, classify, and manage both auto-discovered and custom assets. The dashboard is split into two primary views:

* **Auto-discovered assets** (Infrastructure, Staff Devices, Code Repositories, People)
* **Custom assets** (Manually added assets like on-premise servers, backup devices, etc.)

This guide walks you through the key dashboard actions you can perform in each view.

***

### View Auto-Discovered Assets

1. Go to **Apps → Asset Register**.
2. Use the following tabs to explore different categories of discovered assets:
   * **Infrastructure**
   * **Staff Devices**
   * **Code Repositories**
   * **People**

Each tab provides a list of associated assets along with metadata like:

* Asset name or identifier
* Classification status
* Owner details
* Source (e.g. AWS, GitHub, Rippling)
* Date added

{% hint style="info" %}
These fields are populated automatically via connected integrations.
{% endhint %}

***

### Filter and Sort Assets

* Use column filters and sort options to refine the list of assets in any tab.
* Examples:
  * Filter Infrastructure assets by _Classification: Production_
  * Sort Staff Devices by _Date Added_ or _Owner_

***

### Add a Custom Asset Individually

1. Navigate to the **Custom assets** tab.
2. Select **Add more custom assets → Add asset individually**.
3. Fill in the required fields:
   * _Asset ID_
   * _Asset Name_
   * _Asset Group_
   * _Added On_ (date)
   * _Classification_ (In Scope or Not In Scope – optional)
   * _Owner_ (optional)
   * _Notes_ (optional)
4. Click **Add Asset** to complete.

{% endhint %}

### Bulk Upload Custom Assets

1. Navigate to the **Custom assets** tab.
2. Select **Add more custom assets → Bulk upload assets**.
3. Click **Download template** and fill in asset details using the provided structure.
4. Click **Upload file** to import the completed template.
5. Review the records and click **Add Assets**.

{% endhint %}

### Edit or Update a Custom Asset

* Use the **edit icon** next to a listed custom asset to:
  * Change name or owner
  * Update scope/classification
  * Add notes or correct group information

***

### Group and Categorise Custom Assets
