Getting Started with Atlassian Assets

Atlassian Assets is Jira Service Management’s native asset and configuration management tool. It gives teams a flexible and dynamic way to track assets and configuration items (CIs), enabling teams to easily link them to service requests, incidents, problems, changes, and workloads.

See Atlassian’s Onboarding Guide for everything you need to know to begin setting up your object schema--the information about your Assets.

To request a new Assets object schema, access to an existing object schema, or support with an existing object schema please contact IST’s Atlassian Support.
