Understanding Self Service Components in Asset Management

Self-service web applications provide your employees secure and convenient access to information. For many people, self-service applications provide an improved alternative to automated telephone prompting systems. In addition, they can help ease the workload for internal support staff.

PeopleSoft delivers several self-service web components as templates. You can use the PeopleTools Application Designer to modify these Web components just as you would any application components.

Asset Management provides four self-service web components:

Component	Description
Assets	Provides details for an individual asset, including the reference information (ID, tag number, and serial number), location, department, model, manufacturer, and custodian.
Asset Transfer Request	An employee can create and submit a request to indicate an asset has been lost, stolen, inappropriately assigned, or relocated to another department.
Asset Transfer Approval	A manager can approve, deny, or hold an asset transfer request that is submitted by an employee.
Department Assets	Provides a list of all assets that are assigned to a particular department for which the manager is responsible.
