Create and Manage Assets in the Asset Register

Learn how to add, edit, group, and bulk upload assets in Sprinto’s Asset Register using auto-discovery and custom asset tools.

From the Asset Register dashboard, you can view, add, classify, and manage both auto-discovered and custom assets. The dashboard is split into two primary views:

• Auto-discovered assets (Infrastructure, Staff Devices, Code Repositories, People)

• Custom assets (Manually added assets like on-premise servers, backup devices, etc.)

This guide walks you through the key dashboard actions you can perform in each view.
