[General](https://help.setyl.com/general?hsLang=en) # Kits Guide ## Companies often have a standard set of assets or applications that are assigned to employees based on their job role or department. Kits in Setyl are designed to capture this process. This guide will explain what Kits are and how to utilize them. ### What are Kits? Kits in Setyl allow you to create groups of assets and applications as templates which can be used for onboarding employees.  They can also be utilized for managing inventory and receiving low stock notifications for assets based on customizable thresholds. Kits are made up of **Asset Groups** and **Applications** and can contain as many **Asset Groups** or **Applications** as needed.    Kits are completely customizable and can be created for any scenario. They are most often used as templates for a specific role, department, or location. For example, you might create a Kit called “Developer Kit – UK.”   ![01 - What are Kits](https://help.setyl.com/hs-fs/hubfs/01%20-%20What%20are%20Kits.png?width=688&height=337&name=01%20-%20What%20are%20Kits.png)   --- ### What are Asset Groups? An **Asset Group** is a collection of assets meeting certain criteria, specifications or filters. An **Asset Group** can be as broad or as specific as you choose. For example: - An **Asset Group** called "Laptops" could include all assets with the asset type “Laptops.” - A more specific **Asset Group** could be "Apple MacBooks (512 GB)", containing all Apple MacBooks with that storage size. Kits can also share the same **Asset Group**. For example, if multiple departments receive the same Apple MacBook, that **Asset Group** can be used in both Kits. Inventory and stock levels will be tracked automatically across all Kits that use it.   ![02 - What are Asset Groups](https://help.setyl.com/hs-fs/hubfs/02%20-%20What%20are%20Asset%20Groups.png?width=688&height=337&name=02%20-%20What%20are%20Asset%20Groups.png)   --- ### How to create a Kit To create a new Kit in Setyl: 1.

Search for an asset from that asset group and click **Assign**. 7. Under **Apps**, click **Assign** beside any appropriate licenses. **Note:** Once onboarded, assets assigned from a kit template will no longer have any connection to each other within Setyl. #### Low Stock Notifications Low stock notifications help you stay informed when the available quantity of an asset group drops below a set threshold. Alerts will appear both on your **home dashboard** and via **email notifications**.   ![17 - Low Stock](https://help.setyl.com/hs-fs/hubfs/17%20-%20Low%20Stock.png?width=688&height=337&name=17%20-%20Low%20Stock.png)   To set a low stock alert for an Asset Group: 1.

Click **Update Asset Category** to save your settings.   You can also add a low stock alert for any Asset Group from the kit it belongs to.  From the kit screen click the 3 dot menu **Note:** Low-stock checks are run once a day. To avoid excessive alerts, the same low-stock email notification will only be re-sent if at least **7 days** have passed since the last notification for that asset group.   --- ### Additional resources For further assistance please use the live chat at the bottom of the screen, or email us at [hello@setyl.com](mailto:hello@setyl.com).       - [Getting Started](https://help.setyl.com/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [Setyl for your Organization](https://help.setyl.com/setyl-for-your-organization?hsLang=en) - [Asset and Device Management](https://help.setyl.com/asset-and-device-management?hsLang=en) - [App, License, & Contract Management](https://help.setyl.com/app-license-contract-management?hsLang=en) - [People Management](https://help.setyl.com/people-management?hsLang=en) - [Integrations](https://help.setyl.com/integrations?hsLang=en) - [Security and Data Privacy](https://help.setyl.com/security-and-data-privacy?hsLang=en) - [Roles and Permissions](https://help.setyl.com/roles-and-permissions?hsLang=en) - [Locations, Legal Entities and Departments](https://help.setyl.com/locations-legal-entities-and-departments?hsLang=en) - [Asset Labels](https://help.setyl.com/asset-labels?hsLang=en) - [General](https://help.setyl.com/general?hsLang=en) - [Asset Depreciation](https://help.setyl.com/asset-depreciation?hsLang=en) [![Large Logo 2000px wide](https://help.setyl.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Large%20Logo%202000px%20wide.png?width=100&height=29&name=Large%20Logo%202000px%20wide.png "Large Logo 2000px wide")](https://setyl.com) Copyright © 2026, Setyl Ltd
