# Create Hardware

Creates a new asset.

You can do a checkout on creation if you add one of the following fields: `assigned_user`, `assigned_asset`, or `assigned_location`.
This should be a valid primary key of the user, asset or location you wish to checkout to.

<Note>
  To update the values of custom fields, use the DB Field Name value in your Settings > Custom Fields for the field you want to update.
  Use the name of the custom field in the `Fields` input of the action.

  If you don't see that column, be sure to use the column selector to un-hide it
</Note>
