Adding new assets within Asset Management is now more convenient with the UPC search feature. By searching the Universal Product Code (UPC), Accessed Space can fetch and auto-fill the asset's name, description, category, and brand, significantly reducing the amount of manual typing required. Additionally, we retrieve the stock image of the asset, replacing the generic default preset image.
