Learn how to manage component details
You can view, update, and manage Component Details in AssetLoom via:

- Click the field.
- Type the new value.
- Select Create.
The new value will be added and selected immediately.

Use Tabs in the Component Details Screen
The Component Details screen allows you to view and manage complete information for a selected component, organizing it into different tabs.
General

Assignments
The Assignments tab displays all currently checked-out quantities of the component. Unlike licenses or accessories, components can be checked out to an asset, such as laptops, desktops, etc
The table includes the following information:
- Assigned To: Displays the asset to which the component is currently assigned.
- Assigned Quantity: Shows the quantity of the component assigned.
- Checkout Date: Displays the date when the component was checked out.
- Checkout Notes: Shows any notes or remarks added during checkout, such as the purpose or usage details.
You can also click the “Check in” to quickly return the checked-out component quantity to inventory.
History
The History tab records actions taken on the component over time. This may include updates, check-in and check-out activity, assignments, or restore/move to trash actions. Use this tab when reviewing activity records or auditing changes.
