The fields are employee name, location (could be city, office building, or room number), make and model of device, serial number, asset tag, equipment type (desktop, laptop, router, etc…), date purchased, warranty expiration, operating system, bios version, processor, ram, hard drive1, hard drive 2, optical drive 1, optical drive 2, host name, ip address v4, ip address v6, MAC address, patch panel number, and other.

NOTE:
When entering an IP address in the following way XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.
Example: 192.168.001.001 This will help with getting your sorting correct.

When entering a patch panel number, you are allowed to enter alphanumerics so for sorting to work correctly if you only use numerics with two digits each then you should start with 01,02…10,11, etc… or three digits 001,002,003…010,011,100,101, etc…
