Is there a way to bulk update the purchase date and price on existing assets? We need to update this information on assets that have been previously imported. Any direction would be appreciated! Thank you.

@KRogers 970b53 ccsre1 Thank you for submitting your question to our community! 😄

Yes, you can bulk update information via bulk actions. First, you need to create a new view with all those devices. Next, you will select those assets, click other, click set info. 

Once you click on set info, you can add the purchase date and price to those devices and update them.

I hope this helps! 


Thank you so much! This is very helpful.


How do you narrow the list to certain Chromebooks without having to go through all the inventory?


@AAguirre 833c350 aldineisd First, you can add a filter that would narrow down those chromebooks (or even if there is a custom field they have).

Additionally, if you have a spreadsheet of the assets, you can paste the asset tags and they will populate here: 

 


Hi!

Is there a way to update more than 100 assets at a time. We have thousands to update their locations and 100 at a time is taking alot of time. 


@AAguirre 833c350 aldineisd Yes! Once you select the assets, you can click the “select all ____ items”

I hope this helps! 😄


That doesn't work in my case. I have a excel with 3300 assets (several locations). I try to narrow them in assets>assets explorer>devices>filter…..and here is where I am pasting the assets but it only lets me paste 100 at a time.

Should I be doing it another way?


@Kathryn Carter would a CSV import work to overwrite the data? I’ve used it for updating owner information and asset tags, but haven’t tried other fields.


@AMeyer Greendale Schools I have not tested that before, but I don’t see a reason it would not update that information. Great idea! @AAguirre 833c350 aldineisd 


That wont work for me, all I have is the asset tag number. Just confirming there is no other way to update 3000 asset tags with out having to do 100 at a time. 


@AAguirre 833c350 aldineisd With the information about your assets, you will have to paste 100 at a time.
