Bulk Uploads

[ALIPO]

Can the bulk upload .csv be used to 'Update' existing records without creating duplicates or only used to 'Upload' new records?

Hi @ALIPO could you please clarify what you mean by bulk upload .csv? 

What records are you trying to update - users, assets?

I am looking to upload a .csv template to update Assets. Situation is that we have dozens of Assets that need to be marked as being disposed and I believe that the Manage Assets Bulk Upload function can do this, and as long as we verify on Serial Number no duplicates will be created.

Initially I thought the function was for 'NEW' only but then remembered the VERIFICATION option

I tried uploading my a test .csv but that failed

The reason made no sense to me other than a database error occurred.

@ALIPOyou need https://wiki.hornbill.com/index.php?title=CSV_Asset_Import to update asset records via csv. 

The reason in the screenshot above states it cannot AddRecord because the record already exists.
