Asana Templates for Inventory lists

[anon15540997]

My company organizes events, we have a lot of different types of materials that are constantly on the move and are in many different locations. Is there a way to use to asana to keep track of everything?

Welcome, @anon15540997,

Asana could provide several ways to do this, but more details about who the audience is, what your use cases are and the outcomes you seek would be required before suggesting an approach.

I’m afraid that’s better done interactively in a work session, which is what some of us do with clients daily.

But since you asked, here’s one example of resource management that’s calendar-based; I suspect this is not the right solution for you, just showing an example of something similar in Asana

Resource Management (meeting rooms, company cars, etc.) the Free and Easy Way in Asana

Use the Asana free version (you don’t need Premium or Business plans) to easily manage shared resources like meeting rooms, company cars, tools, equipment, etc. In any task, like “Planning Meeting” below, add a tag like RoomA1 meaning you need the A1 meeting room resource. (Pick a unique name for each resource, like RoomA1, RoomA2, Car1, Car2, etc.) To see all the bookings for the RoomA1 resource (e. g., to check the room’s availability) just type RoomA1 in the search box and click on the tag,…

Thanks,

Hey Larry,

Thanks for responding. To answer your question we have alot of different materials for the events we run (tables, ipads, etc.). We are looking for a system where we can have each labeled in asana and keep track of where they are and who has them. Furthermore if possible a system where people can sign them out through asana.
