The General Settings panel allows you to configure aspects of your install such as Full Company Support, whether or not to require physical (digital) signatures on assets, and so on.

Scoping

Full Multiple Companies Support

Snipe-IT offers a sort of multi-tenancy within the application, which allows super-admins to restrict the assets non-super-admins can see.

If you decide to enable this feature, you will need to create companies in the Companies interface and assign assets and users to those companies in order for the restrictions to apply. Super-admins can always see all users, assets, etc and are never restricted by company.

If you would like to track assets by company but do not need to restrict users, you can still use the Admin > Companies section, just don't enable full company support in the settings. In that case, a user or asset's associated company will be displayed, but no restrictions will be placed on them.

Restrict Locations to Company

This setting allows you to make sure locations are available only to the companies they belong to. Since this feature was added after many people already had set companies and locations on users, assets, etc, you must click on the button to make sure your company-scoped locations will not cause issues with your existing data.

Default Formats

Email Domain

The email domain should be set to whatever your company's primary email domain is, for example, example.com. This setting is used in conjunction with the Email Format setting (below) to generate email addresses when importing if email addresses are not provided.

Email Format

Used with the Email Domain (above), set this to the standardized format your organization uses for email formatting - first initial, last name, first name last name, etc.

Username Format

This works the same as Email Format (above), but for usernames.

User Profiles

If this box is checked, users can edit their own profiles when logged in. This will allow them to change their name, avatar, etc and will also allow them to change their password if they are not currently managed via LDAP.

Eula & Acceptance Preferences

Require Signature

Starting from version 3.6.0, you can require a physical signature on asset with the asset acceptance/declination. With this enabled, users will be prompted with an on-screen signature box where they can sign their name with their mouse, or their finger on any touch-enabled device.

Or if they choose to decline the acceptance, they will be required to add a note as to why.

🚧

Important

Remember that you must enable the acceptance requirement at the category level for your users to actually receive the email requiring them to accept an asset. This provides more granular acceptance options for a wider range of asset type.

Default EULA

Snipe-IT allows you to set up a general EULA or Terms of Service that will be emailed to users when an asset is checked out to them if the category the asset belongs to has EULAs enabled.

You may also override this EULA with category-specific EULAs in the Categories interface. This can be helpful if you have an overall organization EULA for assets, but a specific set of EULAs for mobile devices, tablets, etc.

Miscellaneous Display Options

Max Thumbnail Height

This is the maximum number in pixels that can be displayed in the listing view. Unless you wish to display much larger images in your listing pages, you should be able to leave this as its default value. The maximum value for this field is 500, though smaller thumbnails tends to present better in table layouts.

Show in Model Dropdowns

This allows you to customize how much information is shown in asset model select dropdowns, such as image, category, model numbers, etc.

Show Archived in All Assets

With this box checked, archived assets will show up in asset lists and dropdowns. For most use-cases, unless you're specifically looking at the Archived assets listings, you won't need to see archived assets, since they're not deployable, so this is an easy way to hide them from your normal workflow. Archived assets can still be accessed through the "Assets > Archived" sidebar menu even if this box is checked.

Show Assets Assigned to Assets

With this box checked, assets that were assigned to an asset which was assigned to a user will be visible in the Print Assigned and in the logged in user's "Assigned Items" tab.

Email

Test Email

This button allows you to test the mail functionality of Snipe-IT. It will send a test email to whatever the MAIL_REPLYTO_ADDR is set to in your .env.

Show Images in Email

With this box checked, images of the assets, accessories, etc will be included in emails sent to the user.

Checkin Preferences

Require Notes on Checkin/Checkout

With this box checked, the "Notes" field will be required on all checkouts and checkins.

Login & Dashboard Preferences

Login Note

You may optionally include a few sentences on your login screen, for example to assist people who have found a lost or stolen device, or to direct people to your LDAP interface to allow them to reset their LDAP password. This field accepts Github flavored markdown.

Dashboard Pie Chart

This option lets you determine whether you want to view the pie chart on the homepage by status type or status label.

Dashboard Message

Optionally add a message that will appear on the dashboard for logged in admins and superusers.

Miscellaneous

Link to Privacy Policy

This field allows you to set your own link to a privacy policy on another website which will appear in the footer of your Snipe-IT installation.

Depreciation Report

This option allows you to determine which depreciation method you'd like to use in the depreciation report.

Unique Serial Numbers

With this box checked, asset serial numbers will be required to be unique.

Manager View

With this box checked, managers will be able to view the items assigned to their direct reports via a dropdown in their own profile.
