          I use a 4 character code telling me whether it is a desktop, laptop, for faculty or staff. Then a short building abbreviation to let me know where it is. Finally a unique 4 digit property code.

                Ah, I was curious how you would have a simple way to auto increment your asset tags, Snipe-IT has a way, but the prefix is static to whatever you provide.

                Of course it could be changed manually, but who would want to do that.

                    I like how simple and straightforward the app is.
                    Before that I was using GLPI which I still like too.

                                We use GUID for that.

                                  We use the Chassis ID or Serial Number. Depending on vendor/brand.
