The Asset Register starter workbook — an asset form, four master-data lists, a net-book-value formula and a photo field, authored in English plus German, Japanese and Arabic. Download it, adjust the sheets, and upload. Enter your email to download the workbook and join the early-access list.
An asset spreadsheet drifts out of date the moment assets move, get written down, or change hands — and depreciation is recalculated by hand, if at all. Sheetward turns that workbook into a register with unique asset tags, validated fields, live depreciation, and — because this template ships its translations — the same app in English, German, Japanese and Arabic.
Categories, departments, conditions and statuses come from List_ tabs; net book value is a Formula_ field (value minus depreciation); an asset photo attaches to each record; and the workbook stays the design you revise and re-upload.
How it works
Open the template
Download the Asset Register workbook: a Form_ sheet with the asset fields, List_ tabs for asset type, department, condition and status, a Formula_ row for net book value, and a Translations_ sheet that carries the German, Japanese and Arabic labels.
Upload & review
Sheetward shows every field, dropdown, rule and language it detected. Confirm, and the app is live — in four languages, with its own isolated dataset.
Maintain & report
Add or import assets, reassign departments, retire items by status, and let net book value compute. Each viewer sees the app in their own language; export to Excel any time.
What the template becomes
In four languages
The workbook carries a Translations_ sheet, so the generated app — labels and master data — is available in English, German, Japanese and Arabic (right-to-left), switching with each viewer’s language.
Live depreciation
A Formula_ field computes net book value (asset value minus depreciation) as records are entered — no manual schedule.
Unique asset tags
An asset-number business key keeps each asset unique; re-importing your list updates rows in place instead of duplicating them.
Categories & condition
List_ tabs become the asset-type, department, condition and status dropdowns, so the register stays consistent and filters cleanly.
Photos on the record
Attach a photo of each asset with a safe in-browser preview — handy for audits and insurance.
Roles, history & export
Per-app roles, a full change history of every reassignment and write-down, and export to Excel, CSV or JSON.

Frequently asked questions
Is the app really available in other languages?
Yes. This template ships a Translations_ sheet with German, Japanese and Arabic alongside English, so the generated app’s labels and master data appear in each viewer’s language — Arabic renders right-to-left. You can add or prune languages by editing the workbook.
Does it calculate depreciation and net book value?
Net book value (asset value minus depreciation) is a live Formula_ field, recalculated as assets are entered and updated, and read-only so it can’t be edited away.
Can I retire an asset without deleting it?
Yes — set its status to retired. The record stays for history and reporting, and deleted records go to a recycle bin rather than vanishing.
Can I import our current asset list?
Yes — bulk-import from Excel or CSV. The asset-number business key updates each matching asset in place, so an import corrects records without duplicating them.
Is the template required?
No — it’s a head start. Any conformant workbook works; the template just saves you laying out the fields, lists, depreciation formula and translations.
