## Key Features
* **General Fields:** Capture essential asset details such as physical orientation of slots (None, Horizontal, Vertical), serial number, asset usage counts (total, in use, available), support group, and life cycle stage (e.g., Deploy, Design, End of Life, Operational, Purchase).
* **Life Cycle Stage Status:** Define the current status of the asset including In Maintenance, In Use, or Pending Retirement to track asset condition and readiness.
* **Management Details:** Assign a manager responsible for the asset by selecting a user from a list.
* **Configuration Fields:** Specify manufacturer name and code, model number, unit position, and network domain ownership to categorize and organize assets within Mobility, Telco, or Core domains.
* **Capacity and Power Specifications:** Record allotted electric power with unit options (Watts, Kilowatts, Megawatts, Horsepower) and maximum weight capacity with corresponding measurement systems (Metric, US Imperial) and units (grams, kilograms, ounces, pounds).
* **Comments:** Add free-form notes to provide additional context or operational details about the asset.
* **Alarmable Option:** Indicate whether the asset can be assigned an alarm system for monitoring purposes.
## Practical Use and Benefits
By using this form, ServiceNow customers can maintain accurate, detailed records of network equipment holders, ensuring better asset lifecycle tracking, capacity planning, and operational oversight. This facilitates improved maintenance scheduling, resource allocation, and compliance with power and weight specifications necessary for safe and efficient network asset management.
The Equipment Holder form enables you to create, review, and modify the network asset
details for an equipment holder.
