Customize Snipe-IT to add more field entries

1. Using Custom Fields (No Code)

• Navigate to Admin > Custom Fields.
• Click Add Custom Field and define the field type (text, number, dropdown, etc.).
• Assign the custom field to a specific asset category.

This is the easiest way to add fields without modifying the code.

2. Database Modification (Advanced)

If you need persistent changes beyond custom fields:

• Modify the assets table in the MySQL/MariaDB database.
• Add a column using: sqlCopyEditALTER TABLE assets ADD COLUMN custom_field_name VARCHAR(255) NULL;
• Modify the corresponding Eloquent model (app/Models/Asset.php) to include the new field in fillable: phpCopyEditprotected $fillable = ['name', 'serial', 'custom_field_name', ...];
• Update the views to display the new field in:
  • resources/views/assets/show.blade.php
  • resources/views/assets/edit.blade.php

3. Extending Snipe-IT API for Custom Fields

• If you want external integrations to recognize the new fields, modify app/Http/Controllers/API/AssetController.php to include them in API responses.
• Extend app/Http/Requests/AssetRequest.php to validate input.

4. Customizing the Frontend

If the UI needs additional inputs:

• Modify Blade templates in resources/views/assets/.
• Extend Vue.js components in resources/js/components/.
