The Asset button above a list opens the Create Asset dialog, called Create Assets in Multiple mode. The dialog is the only place in the module with a form of its own—everything else follows from your type configuration.

​
Single or multiple

A switch toggles between Single and Multiple. Both modes capture the same four fields: Location names come from Administration › Environment Data › Locations. If a field offers exactly one value after loading, it is preset—you can still change it.
The dialog offers only the types of the list you opened it from in the Type field. Which types those are follows from your inventory.

​
Duplicates

If an asset with the same name and type already exists, the name field warns—creating the asset is still possible. The same device name can appear at two locations in your inventory. In Multiple mode, the same check additionally applies within the table itself: if a name and type appear a second time in the same entry, that is flagged too, without blocking the save.

​
Creating several assets at once

In Multiple mode you fill a table instead of a form. Two ways besides typing:
  • Paste — paste spreadsheet rows with Ctrl+V, in the column order Name, Type, Organization, Location.
  • Import CSV — a .csv, .tsv, or .txt file with the same column order.
Matching Type, Organization, and Location runs against your current interface language, case-insensitively. A table in a different language than your interface finds no match for the type—the field stays empty, and a row without a type cannot be saved.
A recognized header row—with a column such as Name, Type, or Location—is skipped. Already filled rows stay as they are; only empty ones are replaced. Rows without a recognized type are counted separately in the success message; add the type by hand afterward.

​
Saving

Create stays disabled while Name or Type is missing in the visible mode; a tooltip on the button names the missing fields. In Single mode, the tab of the new asset opens after creation. In Multiple mode, the success message reports how many assets were actually created—on a partial success, separately from the failed ones. Edit and delete assets and Lists and filters.
