# Consumables
Consumables are items relating to resources or supplies intended to be used, loaned or entrusted as part of maintenance operations or the day-to-day running of an IT estate. These consumables generally include items such as USB sticks, HDMI cables or spare parts for hardware.
Apart from [common actions](/athome-docs/overview/actions.md), some actions are specific to consumables:
* [Add new consumables to a model](#add-consumables-model) ;
* List allocated consumables: The *Summary* menu button allows you to see a summary of allocated consumables
In a consumable form, the following information is available:
