Details about Documents Assets
I need details on documents assets. Do we consider the employee information spreadsheet also an information asset? Or is just the agreements, contracts etc, which are considered as assets? Please clarify.

The information to be considered as an asset will depend on your ISMS scope.
For example, if your ISMS scope includes only R&D information, then employee information will not be an asset for ISO 27001. On the other hand, if the ISMS scope includes all organization's information, then employee information will be an asset.
