Advanced tips for assigning Assets to Asset Groups: 2 Options

Option 1:

Create new groups under Assets > Asset Management > Asset Groups using the NewGroup icon New icon.
Go to Assets > Asset Management > Asset List.
Create a Filter using the Advanced Filter icon that will only show the Assets intended for one particular Asset Group.
Click Shared images 'Show all': You now see all assets that match your filter in one page.
Select all assets using the upper most checkbox on the left side of the list. This displays the Asset Actions list.
From the Group drop-down filter in the Asset Actions list, select the desired group.
Click Set. This assigns all selected assets to the new group.
Repeat steps 3 - 7 as many times as necessary until all assets are assigned to groups.

Option 2:

Go to Assets > Asset Management > Asset List .
Export a list of all assets in the system to .csv using the Export to CSV (excel) icon
Open the exported file.
Delete all columns except for the Asset ID column. (If this field is not enough for you to identify the Asset, leave another field that will allow you to identify the Asset.)
Add a new column called Group.
Enter in the group of each Asset. The format is as follows: Group\Sub group\Third level group...
Save the .csv file.
Go to Settings > Asset Management > Import Assets.
Import the Asset ID field and the Group field from the .csv you've created.
By importing the Asset ID field, you ensure that the data is added to the existing assets, and that no new assets are created.

SysAid will add all of your Assets to the appropriate Groups. If you assign an Asset to a Group that does not yet exist, SysAid will create that Group for you.
