Differentiating Between Tag and Asset Numbers

Staff can learn about the differences between the tag numbers and asset numbers used in Kuali Financials (KFS).  

Tag Number 

The Tag Number refers to the UConn number on the asset’s barcode label or decal.  

Asset Number 

The Asset Number refers to a system-assigned unique identifier for the property record. 

asset number and tag number field

Instead of the tag number, Kuali documents use the asset number to identify equipment. Each document has a small grey magnifying glass icon next to it.  

  1. Click on the magnifying glass icon. You will then be directed to an asset look-up screen. 

  2. From this screen, enter the tag number to obtain the asset number necessary to complete any asset transaction.


    Note: Any of the fields can be used to search for assets. Tag Number and Asset Description are the most frequently used fields. You can also use an asterisk (*) as a wild card character as needed.
