It can track information about your assets.  (What information?  Pretty
much anything you want...you define asset types, and then create custom
fields that are associated with some subset of those asset types.)
Through "parent" references, it can associate assets with one another.
(For example, we have "monitor" and "printer" asset types that can be
defined as components of someone's desktop PC.)  It can also associate a
particular asset with an RT ticket (using the ticket's "refers to"
link), allowing you to track the maintenance history of a particular
piece of equipment.

I believe Todd intends for Asset Tracker to eventually have all the
capabilities (scrips, bulk updates, etc.) of RT.

If you've got particular questions, probably your best bet is to join
the at-users mailing list and ask them.  If there are particular actions
or items you'd like to see a screenshot of, I can probably help out with
that.
