Batch Updating Asset Fields#

Asset fields can be batch updated together when viewing a list of assets. This is useful for keeping assets up to date as their technology changes, for instance which software is installed or who owns it.

In the Assets area, select the checkboxes to the side of the assets you want to update. If you want to update everyone within an asset group, type, etc, enter the view of that group and select the checkbox at the top that is in line with the column headers.

Note: If using the right-aligned checkboxes as part of the 2025 UI, you will need to hover over the row to see the checkbox.

Two fields have been added below - one system (Purchase Cost) and one custom (Software). Custom asset fields can be updated with this method.

The new value the fields will be updated to will be shown in the "Value" column.
