L.S.

Is there an easy way to do bulk changes.
My admins need to change a lot of assets by hand (fill mantainance date and so on.)
Is there a way to do this faster, at the moment they need to open each config, change the value, save it.
Better way would to have an option to change in a grid or something like that.
Import and export is not an option.

Hi,
Location, Group and company can be updated from the list.
May I ask why is export and import is not an option?
Just make sure you export the ID and in the import map it back and all other fields will be updated.

You can read more about it in out Online Aid : http://www.sysaid.com/help-page.htm?helpPageId=4214&helpPageName=ImportAssets.htm&edition=2&version=v9.0.01&productId=1

The export option is far too much work if you want to change for example 8 or 10 assets.
My admins are not "good" enough to do the export import trick.

If it is 8-10 assets - I would agree with you....
What fields do you update the most ?
let's open a Feature request for adding them to the more action in the asset list.

I found that we have a Feature request that covers this, that can be found here http://www.sysaid.com/Sysforums/posts/list/8164.page
This feature covers the wide range of bulk update for all fields within the entity.

Go ahead and vote for it and promote it ! see if you can wake up the other SysAiders for this :)

Can I export/import assets for bulk edit if those assets were created by the installation of the sysaid agent? What I'm really asking is will all of the same Monitoring functionality be the same for the exported/imported assets or will they become like other imported assets where I can't monitor Network Traffic etc.

Thanks!
