Thank you for your feedback
You can access your equipment and add new ones from the Inventory section of the Admin Panel. You can add equipment one at a time if they are unique or you only have a few to add. You can also create equipment in bulk if you want to create a large number of similar or identical equipment.
Adding Equipment
You can add equipment this way when you only have a few similar items to add or when you need to add pieces of equipment that are different.
For example, you only have two projectors to add to your inventory as equipment or you have multiple chairs with very different values.
Log in to dashboard.nexudus.com if you aren't already.
Click Inventory > Equipment.
Click on Add equipment.
Name your equipment.
Select the location of your equipment.
Add a Description of yr equipment.
Add a unique reference for your equipment in the SKU field.
While different pieces of equipment can share the same name, each piece's SKU must be unique.
- Add an estimated Value of your equipment.
The Value of your equipment is not a price.
If you'd like to insure your equipment, check out Insuring Your Equipment.
Click Upload image and select the relevant image file from your device if you want to add a photo for the equipment.
Click the Save Changes button.
All set! Your equipment is now part of your inventory.
Adding Equipment in Bulk
You can also create multiple copies of any existing equipment. This is useful when you want to create a large number of nearly identical items.
For example, you have 100 office chair to add as equipment. Instead of manually creating every single one of them, you can create 1 chair equipment and then create 99 copies with the same name and settings in one go.
We automatically number equipment copies based on the original equipment's SKU.
If you create 49 copies of a desk with a SKU that is DSK-1, the copies are automatically numbered DSK-2, DSK-3, DSK-4, etc. up to DSK-50.
If you create 200 copies of an access fob with a SKU that is AC20, the copies are automatically numbered AC21, AC22, AC23, etc. up to AC220.
Log in to dashboard.nexudus.com if you aren't already.
Click Inventory > Equipment.
Tick the checkbox next to the piece of equipment that you want to copy.
Click Create in bulk in the Bulk actions menu.
Add the number of copies you want to create.
You can add up to 100 equipment items in one go.
Click Yes, do it to confirm.
The equipment copies are now in your inventory. You can repeat the process for any other equipment. Once you're happy with your equipment inventory, the next step is to assign the equipment to customers.
