Add 'retired' status

[peelman]

for the old stuff that goes away but you want to remember what it was and where it went...

might help if this could have a date attached to it somehow...

You could use "Retired" as a status label right now - but funnily, I do already have an 'archived' boolean field on the assets table. I just haven't hooked anything into it yet.

I recognize that, but I meant into the default set.

One could also go one step further and add "sold", "destroyed", but those are probably best left to the admin's discretion. There's a case to be made for "missing" too, as stolen implies theft, which is not always the case when things disappear, but again, that can always go at the user's discretion. "Retired" seems standard enough; when something is "archived" its status could automatically get set to retired. I'd say this could auto-set a date field too for retired/destroyed/etc but rarely would that ever be true. Things typically end up on the junk heap and then all get shuttled out at once; that's a tricky thing to try to track the date on, but definitely something worth keeping track of. knowing who disposed of something, when, why, and how are pretty important aspects for an asset tracker :)

Of course, and dedending on how I handle that from a DB and UX perspective, it will either be a reserved status set (probably not), or a checkmark that marks it as retired and then adds a log entry about who/when/etc, same as checkouts and checkins do

Yeah, you have a nice framework for those kinds of timestamps, might as well reuse it.
