A local community college uses Microsoft SharePoint Online to track and manage laptop computers that are issued to faculty and other employees…

Use the Data Management framework to bring the SharePoint-stored laptop list into Asset Management through recurring import jobs, so every device is represented as an asset record that planners can see.

For on-going day-to-day issuance, embed a canvas Power Apps application (connected to the same SharePoint list) on the Employees or Asset Management page. Faculty or staff can request or assign new laptops through the embedded app, and the SharePoint list—and therefore the next scheduled DMF import—remains automatically updated.

B. Human Resources is unnecessary; employee master data already exists in Supply Chain Management’s Personnel module and is not required for asset visibility or issuance.

D. Fixed Assets integration is optional; Asset Management can track movable equipment such as laptops without capital-asset registration or depreciation processing.
