Accessories Inventory

The Accessories section tracks peripheral items that can be checked out to users — things like keyboards, mice, headsets, cables, adapters, and other equipment that supports your main hardware assets.

Viewing Accessories

The accessories list shows each item with its:

• Name — Descriptive name of the accessory
• Category — The type of accessory
• Model Number — Manufacturer's model identifier
• Quantity — Total quantity in stock and how many are checked out
• Min Quantity — Threshold for low-stock alerts
• Location — Where the accessories are stored

Adding Accessories

To add a new accessory type:

1. Click "Create New" [2] and select "Accessory"
2. Enter the name, category, quantity, and optionally a minimum quantity threshold
3. Click Save

Unlike individual hardware assets, accessories are tracked by quantity rather than individually. When you have 50 USB-C cables, you create one accessory entry with a quantity of 50 rather than 50 separate entries.

Checking Out Accessories

To assign an accessory to a user, click on the accessory name and then use the "Checkout" button. Select the user and confirm. The available quantity decreases automatically.

When a user returns an accessory, use the "Checkin" option on the user's profile or the accessory's detail page.

Low Stock Alerts

If you set a minimum quantity threshold, Snipe-IT notifies you when stock drops below that level. These alerts appear on the dashboard and in the notification area, giving your team time to reorder before running out.
