# Kits
Kits enable you to create groups of serialized and/or non-serialized assets to manage them as a single unit. Kits are useful when you track or issue items, such as tool sets, device bundles, or onboarding packages.
## Kit templates
Kit templates define the standard structure of a kit. You use them to build and reuse consistent kit formats across your teams. When you create templates, you specify the type and quantity of items to include and select individual assets or reference categories (for example, "3 monitors" or "2 barcode scanners").
To create a kit template, configure the layout with the Kits property type. This allows you to control how kits behave and which assets they contain.
## Non-template kits
Non-template kits support flexible asset grouping. You can use this approach if the combination of assets changes often or if you need to build a one-time bundle. You can manually add assets to a kit record by using the Kits property. This gives you the freedom to create kits based on current needs without predefined rules.
## Visibility
In asset lists, the first column shows a mix of individual assets and kits. Each record is clearly labeled as a serialized asset, a bulk asset, or a kit. This makes it easy to identify grouped items and understand how assets relate to each other.
