What is an Asset Type?
An asset type is a categorization of your assets and managing asset types is critical to getting it right. Customer can manage asset types right within Checkout regardless of the provider. For example you can manage Jira Assets asset types using Checkout.
Asset Types are pivotal to Checkout because they facilitate culmination of assets journey after the asset has been ordered from a vendor.

Categories are project-specific. Asset Types span all the projects in a single Jira Instance. So when you create or edit an Asset Type in one project, your changes will appear in all other Checkout projects in that instance. |
Managing Asset Types
Managing asset types entails:
Creating Asset types within an asset management provider.
Importing and mapping asset types from integrated vendors
Managing the attributes needed to manage every asset within the configured asset types.
Creating Asset Types
Creating Asset Types is easy to do! To create an Asset Type, click on the Create Asset Type button.
The following attributes details will be required:
Name
Description
Image
After filling in these details, administrators can manage the attributes for their Asset Type.
If external Asset providers, including Jira Assets, have been integrated with Checkout, each provider will have an option in the Create Asset Type dropdown.
The details are the same except for an additional “Schema” field which is the Asset provider’s version of Checkout’s Asset type that is being mapped onto this Asset Type.
After the Asset Type has been created, if it is mapped to an external provider, go back into the asset type by editing it and map the Project Id.
