Asset Tags are labels you can apply to assets in Gearbelt to help label, filter, and group records across your workspace. Tags appear as chips in the Assets, Inspections, Issues, Schedule Checks, and Work Orders registers, making it easy to identify and filter records by tag at a glance.
Definition
Asset Tags is a column in Gearbelt that stores tag values displayed as chips, allowing you to label, filter, and group assets consistently across the Assets, Inspections, Issues, Schedule Checks, and Work Orders registers.
What it's used for
Labelling assets with one or more tags to support labelling and grouping
Displaying tag values as chips across the Assets, Inspections, Issues, Schedule Checks, and Work Orders registers
Filtering records in any register by a specific Asset Tag value — for example, filter Work Orders by the "Hired" tag to identify hire gear ready to on-charge
Including tag data in the Assets CSV export when the Asset Tags column is enabled
When to use it
Use Asset Tags when you want to group or filter assets by type, status, location, or any custom label, and when you need to filter any of the Assets, Inspections, Issues, Schedule Checks, or Work Orders registers by a specific tag.
Notes
Asset Tags behaves identically across all five registers, including chip display and filtering behaviour.
The Asset Tags column is off by default in the Issues, Schedule Checks, and Work Orders registers — enable it via Edit Columns before it will appear.
Asset Tags is read-only in web registers and on mobile record detail screens — you can view and filter by tags, but tags can only be added or managed on the asset itself, not from a record or via bulk updates.
In Gearbelt Mobile, Asset Tags are also visible (read-only) on the detail screens for inspection records, issues, schedule checks, and work orders.
Tag chips display in colour on Gearbelt Mobile records — orange on issues, and sky on work orders and schedule checks.
To edit Asset Tags from your mobile device, open the asset’s Overview screen and tap the Asset Tags field. See How to Edit Asset Tags on Gearbelt Mobile for step-by-step instructions.
