Feature Request: Autoassign Predefined Asset Tag based on Category/Company/etc
Love this project, turned out better than all of the paid services I found. I want to suggest the option for Snipe-IT to be able to automatically fill in the Asset Tag info based on a predefined scheme that the admin sets, such as "companynameXXXXX", so that the next asset automatically is set to the next number in the sequence and ready for label generation. Could also be linked to the Categories to have specific Asset Tag generations by Asset Type.
Guess it wouldn't be much different other than assigning to a category.
We do different prefixes per category, so for instance, assets in the computer category are PC-1000, Printers are PR-1000, so we can't use the auto increment. It leaves room for error because it's relying on looking at the last item created in a category
But wouldn't such a tag be against the 1NF? Why would you need the category or the company to be a part of the tag number?

This would still be a nice feature- hopefully it can be revisited at some point.

Just upgraded to new version of server (18.04 Ubuntu, PHP version 7.2.24, Snipe-IT 4.8.0) Thing is perfect, but one thing bothers me still.
If I have multiple categories in assets section, why can't there be auto-incrementing ID's with following prefix for each category (Pxxx for printer , Cxxx for computer, Mxxx for mobile phones etc.)?
Is there a solution for that ?
We just found out about Snipe-it!! Great job! But this feature is also of importance to us +2
- have a prefix / suffix and a starting number for each category
- autonumber based on the category and prefix/suffix information
We also have found Snipe-IT just few days ago and it is awesome to replace our current system.
We are also looking forward to this feature, we have a lot of diferent prefixes, lap.., pc..., tlm..., srv... etc.
This would be a great feature for a lot of users.

This feature would skyrocket Snipe-IT for us, and for many others as well.
We are patiently waiting and hoping for you to implement this option, so we can add different ID's to different categories.
So for instance: PC-1000 for PC's, LP-2000 for laptops, M-3000 for mobile phones etc., you get the idea.
Please let me know if this will be possible in the future, we would appreciate it.
Thanks !

How hard can this be to make ? There are often few major categories of assets in every company, and it can not be possible to put everything under one category (prefix).
So please tell me is this something we can expect soon, or maybe if it's possible for us to pay you some amount to implement this?
Please, this is the only missing puzzle for us to make the SnipeIT perfect for our corporate ITAM, and I believe bunch of other people/companies would welcome this as well.

Please thumb up the original thread post to raise priority for when snipe looks for features to implement.
I'm just not really sure how we'd implement this. An asset could potentially change companies, etc. Hell, you could change the asset model of an asset if you want - then all of your asset tags would be attributed to the wrong company/model/category/etc.
I don't see a practical way of making this not a time bomb.
I don't particularly think of those as unfair issues to encounter in that situation:
-
Changing companies If your asset numbering is based on company name, just provide a prompt to provide an asset number that's autofilled with the next number for that company
-
Changing categories Maybe my usage of the categories function is different than other people's, but I'll never have an asset change from a laptop to a desktop or to a monitor, so the pains from making it category based would be potentially self inflicted.
-Asset model I don't see this being a practical implementation of unique asset tagging. At the point where you're tagging devices by model, may as well do categories (T450, T560, Etc)
Just my personal opinions on the matter, I'm unsure if I'm the one who's strange. (Sorry, hit control enter because I'm used to Slack messages at this point)
