Asset Audit History
Asset audit history gives you a full change trail for each asset.
What it shows
For a single asset, history includes events such as:
- asset created
- assignment and unassignment
- location changes
- status transitions (including retired/reactivated)
- maintenance completion entries
- inventory-check verification events
When an asset is created, the timeline combines the values captured at that moment—including its optional status, condition, location, and custodian—under one Asset created entry. Later changes remain separate events. Other actions that update several asset details, such as checking an item in or out, sending it to maintenance, or retiring it, also appear as one combined entry with the affected status, condition, custodian, and other relevant details.
Why it matters
- Understand who changed what and when.
- Explain discrepancies during audits.
- Trace lifecycle decisions for compliance and support.
Where to view it
- Open Assets and select an item.
- Go to the asset History / Timeline section.
For an audit-ready report without opening the asset detail page:
- Open Analytics.
- Under Reports, choose Asset Lifecycle Timeline.
- Select one asset. The report shows its complete available history by default; set dates only when you want to narrow the result.
The report is designed for review and CSV export. The asset-detail History / Timeline remains the contextual shortcut for investigating an asset while you work with it.
Practical workflow
- Open the asset from an alert, report, or search.
- Review recent events first (top of timeline).
- Expand older events for full context.
- Use related references (assignment/check/maintenance) to drill into details.
