# Create assets

> Create one asset or several at once, individually or by CSV import.

The *Asset* dialog above a list creates one or more assets. It 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:

| Field | Required | Source |
| - | - | - |
| Name | yes | free text |
| Type | yes | the types of the list you opened |
| *Organization* | no | your organizations |
| *Location* | no | your location structure |

If a field offers exactly one value after loading, it is preset — you can
still change it.

<Note>
  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.
</Note>

## 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.

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

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.
