enhancement Asset Management - Bulk Actions

[Martyn Houghton]

Can we request an enhancement to add the 'Bulk Actions' to the Asset Management list screen. At the moment the only thing you seem to be able to do when making multiple selection is delete.

We would like the options to bulk update elements such as :-

• State
• Operational State
• Used by
• Notes

For example we have annual expiring licenses which we need to alter the State/Operational State of when they expire.

 

Cheers

Hello Support,

Is it possible to have beside the delete action also some other actions for a mass change in asset management?

1 example if owned by will change or used by or the state or the room of an asset etc...

something like we have for service manager?

I think it was a verry good step to have this filter the next step would be to have a mass chnage action.

Thanks and best regards

Nikolaj

Any update on there being more suitable and useful bulk actions on Assets?

Hi @Martyn Houghton

I'll check with development to see if this is something that they have scheduled.   I'm going to assume that the challenge will be that for every organization, there will be a different list of fields that they would like to do bulk updates/actions, so the solution would have to allow for this.

The top three from the original list would be common for everyone, to update the states and also bulk change the owner of assets when people move one etc.

• State
• Operational State
• Used by

Ideally everything in the General Properties Section. It is consistent and so the process for one could I thought be applied to all the fields?
But anything is better than nothing!

There's no card for this under Hornbill Solution Center -> Subscription -> Roadmap Library, and no further posts on this thread, so it would appear there are no updates to share at present.

Being able to change these 3 fields would be very handy, as it is I've got to manually update hundreds of items that weren't set correctly when they were first uploaded. It would also be good to be able to add finance info such as Purchase order number, cost and order date, but those are just nice to have and if we were forced to choose, I'd go with the above suggested by Martin.

The fastest way to do this currently would be to use the Asset Import Tool.

Export the Assets that need correcting into a spreadsheet, make the changes, point the Tool at the Spreadsheet, and upload - this will update all the Assets in the sheet.
