# Adding an Asset Manually
This guide explains how to add an asset to a created asset category. There are three methods: **manually, using a CSV file, or through Discovery** (only applicable to IT assets).
This tutorial will focus on manually adding an asset.
**Step 1:** Click on the **add item** at the top right corner of the page and select the single asset option.
### **Filling Out Asset Information**
**Step 2:** On the **Define Asset** page, fill out the details in the respective call-out boxes, starting with the product image for the asset. (Formats: png, jpeg, jpg | Max size: 20 MB | Aspect ratio: 4 / 4)
**Step 3:** Drag and drop the asset image or select the file to upload.
**Step 4:** After uploading the product image, click on the asset name input field and enter the name, for example, "Samsung S21."
**Step 5:** The dropdown menu maps the asset to a parent or child category. For this example, select "Android" as the sub-category.
### **Assigning Asset Management and Usage**
**Step 6:** In the "Managed by" field, designate the owner or the person managing the asset, potentially a technician. Users can make multiple selections based on the usage of the assets.
**Step 7:** The "Used by" field indicates the person using the asset, also known as the requester. Based on the usage of the assets, users can make multiple selections.
### **Assigning Asset Tag and Location**
**Step 8:** In the 'Managed By' call-out box, select a tag from the drop-down list to specify the team that will manage the asset.
**Step 9:** Assign an asset tag to the specific type of asset by selecting it from the dropdown.
**Step 10:** Specify the location where the asset is situated.

### **Filling Out Asset Properties**
**STEP 1:** The **Asset Properties** section contains categories such as common properties, cost properties, procurement properties, assignment properties, and CPU properties. Each property has input fields where data can be entered.
{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE:** To view only mandatory fields, click on the **show-only mandatory** toggle.
{% endhint %}
### **Finalizing Asset Creation**
**Step 2:** After adding the mandatory data, submit the form to finalize the creation of the asset.
