[Can the manual import csv facility have the ability to identify existing assets and update these rather than create duplicate?]

I have admin rights to the system but can't see the Entity Explorer.  Do I need some other rights as well?

Some success thank you have managed to update one field in a record.  Where can I find the table structure to see how the tables relate to each other?  So we have Asset Tag under financial information - but how can I check that this relates to h_asset_tag in the tables and not a reused field?

It appears to run now (Maybe had to wait for permissions to filter) - however fails to update any records.   Have you got any examples of a simple json file and csv file?  I don't think I have the AssetGenericFieldMapping and/or AssetTypeFieldMapping set quite right.  Not sure I understand the difference and how they work.

Thank you - have checked and both are all lowercase.

Have now set APIKey and InstanceID correctly but am still getting the following message:

PS C:\asset_import> ./goDBAssetImport -dryrun=true -file=.\conf_ReloadName_csv.json
[ERROR] Error Decoding Configuration File: read C:\asset_import/: The handle is invalid.
[ERROR] Unable to retrieve endpoint information for the supplied InstanceID:

New to the Asset import tool. However I am struggling to see, from the templates, how data is imported from a csv file.  Do you have any examples that I could look at.  I don't understand the difference (and/or what fields I need) for AssetGenericFieldMapping and AssetTypeFieldMapping - I am trying to rename the Name of the asset using the two attached files.
