What are Unclaimed Asset Labels on Shelf and what are they used for

Unclaimed Asset Labels offer businesses a convenient method of assigning asset labels to new assets right away. Unlike Shelf's traditional asset labels, these tags aren't assigned to individual assets at creation; instead, they are unique codes which are linked to a specific user or workspace. So you can have tags at hand, whenever new equipment comes in - just grab an asset label - add it to your inventory and create an asset.
