Can you do a Bulk Update of Existing Assets i.e. update the State to Archive

Please can anyone advise, can you do a Bulk Update of Existing Assets i.e. update the existing Asset State to "Archive"

The Hornbill Asset Import Utility should enable you to achieve this.

This is something that would be very helpful to our organisation as well. Steve, could you share details of how we go about doing this? We only currently use the Asset Import Utility to upload and update assets from SCCM.

The Import can use a wide variety of sources - from a csv to a complex database like SCCM.

If you have bulk update options in SCCM you could make the changes there and have them synch into Hornbill, or you could simply put all of the assets in a spreadsheet and set up a one-off import using that data.
