Best naming strategy for IT assets
-
I use lower case.
ab-00000

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.
