What is the Hardware assets system schema?
The Hardware assets system schema is part of the Assets common data model. It provides a ready-to-use structure for tracking the physical and virtual hardware in your organisation - from laptops and servers to network gear and peripherals - along with the models, stockrooms, and stock rules that support them.
Unlike the foundational People, Geography, and External organizations schemas, Hardware assets is a vertical schema: it builds on those foundational schemas, referencing the people, locations, and manufacturers they define.
Why use this system schema?
Without a shared hardware schema, every team tracks devices differently — in spreadsheets, tickets, or separate tools — leading to duplicates, gaps, and no single view of what you own.
With the Hardware assets system schema, you get:
A consistent model for every hardware type — laptops, servers, switches, monitors, and virtual machines all share a common set of attributes, with type-specific attributes added where they matter.
Built-in connections to the people, places, and vendors that matter — each asset references the person who uses it, the location it sits in, and the organisation that made it, reusing the foundational schemas instead of duplicating data.
Financial and lifecycle tracking — purchase price, book value, warranty expiry, and status are modelled as structured attributes, so you can report on value and automate refresh, renewal, and disposal.
A hardware standards library — approved models, chassis types, operating systems, stockrooms, and stock rules are modelled as object types, so procurement and inventory stay consistent.
