      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.
