Note: It is possible to do this step without asset tags.

Asset tags will help with stocktake and with instantly updating locations, however.

3. Now that you are site tracking, you can see the location of your asset on your fixed asset register.

Repeat step one and two for all assets for itemit to create your fixed asset register automatically.
