Getting Started with Web Tracks

Below are three sections to help you get started with Web Tracks Inventory, Service Desk, and Purchasing.

Getting started with Web Tracks Inventory

Step-by-step Instructions  

1. Have an Administrator of Web Tracks setup Application Settings related to Inventory.
2. Create or import Web Tracks User Accounts who will be accessing inventory features and give them Inventory Access to Web Tracks.
3. Configure Inventory lookup tables (choose Admin--Lookup Tables--Inventory Tables Group).
4. Use Web Tracks Audit to inventory your Computers.
5. Apply Asset Tags to computers, peripherals and software assets.
6. Edit each Computer record in Web Tracks and enter the fixed asset information (information that was not collected through the audit).
7. Add your Peripherals to the database.
8. Add your Software Asset records to the database.
9. Assign Software Assets to your Computers.
10. Allocate Peripherals to Computers. You may want to do this if you want to keep peripherals assigned to a particular computer. For example, maybe you want a particular monitor to always go with a specific computer. If you do this, you can then view an asset report by workstation.

Not all of the above steps are required. You can decide the granularity of the assets you wish to track.
