# Object templates and states

Add objects faster with templates and record their current state.

## Object templates and states

Templates prefill a new object with standard details.

Object states record the asset’s current condition.

### Object options

The work order **Objects** list supports search and sorting by name, code, or row number.

You can add a new object, scan a QR code, or select an object from the catalogue.

Object details can include a picture, code, description, type, brand, model, price, address, client, floor, location, GPS position, serial number, and relevant dates.

The description is required. Your company can also add custom fields.

### Add an object from a template

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Objects

Open the work order and select **Objects**.

Choose **Add new object**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Pick a template

Select **Pick a template**.

Choose the template that matches the object.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Complete object details

Add the details specific to the asset, such as serial number, location, and dates.

The description is required.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Set the state

Open **State** and select the object’s condition.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save the object

Tap **Done** to add the object to the work order.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Other ways to add objects

You can scan a QR code or select an object from the catalogue.

Templates only apply during creation. They do not apply to existing objects.

### If an option is missing

Your role, work order status, or company setup controls available actions.

Lists can be empty when no templates or states exist. Pull down to refresh either list.

A locked or read-only work order does not allow object creation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/mobile-app/android-outsmart-next/module-overviews/work-order/objects/object-templates-and-states.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
