Coming in IT Portal 4.6.27 · Q3 2026
Lease details where the device already lives
Plenty of the hardware you manage isn't owned outright — it's leased. Until now, keeping the lease paperwork alongside the device meant building a separate template with custom fields just to capture a reference number and attach a contract. That's more setup than a common task should need.
Now it's built right in. When you edit a device and mark it as Leased, two new fields appear on the Purchasing tab:
- A Lease Reference Number, so the agreement is identifiable at a glance.
- A Lease Documentation upload, so the actual lease contract lives on the device itself.
No templates, no custom fields — just mark it leased and fill it in.
The lease document behaves like any other document
The file you upload isn't a dead attachment. It supports the same View, Edit, and Download options you already use in the Documents module — including Microsoft Office Online, so you can open and edit the lease right in your browser.
And when a lease is renewed, you don't have to delete the old file or start over. Upload the new one and it's saved as a revision automatically, so the full history of the agreement stays with the device.
A cleaner device page
A couple of nice touches come with it:
- The Purchasing tab is now visible by default — no more clicking "show all tabs" to get to it.
- Lease information gets its own section on the device detail page, instead of being mixed in with the hardware specs.
Lease documents are also kept out of the global Documents listing, so they don't clutter it up — they stay tidily attached to the device they belong to. And every label is fully translated across all 7 supported languages.
Availability
Built-in lease documentation ships with IT Portal 4.6.27, scheduled for Q3 2026.
