How to Import Your Assets
The Asset Importer allows you to quickly add new assets to your system by uploading a spreadsheet.
During the import process, you’ll map your columns to system fields, create new fields if needed, and review your data before completing the import.
This article walks you through each step to successfully import new assets.

⚠️ Important: Before Mapping Your Loanee Field ⚠️
Jira allows users to display their names in various formats — (e.g., Janel Smith, Janel S, JS)
To avoid creating duplicate users during import or bulk update, make sure the names in your spreadsheet exactly match that name's format in Jira.
