Bulk import assets from a spreadsheet instead of creating them one at a time. The importer walks you through uploading a file and mapping its columns to asset fields, then creates the assets in the background.

Before you import

  • Set up fields first. A column only imports if it maps to a field that already exists on one of your asset types. If your file has columns that aren’t fields yet, create the asset type and add the fields with Configure fields.
  • Asset types can be created on the fly. A type named in your file that doesn’t exist yet is created automatically, but only with fields that already exist.

Import a file

1

Open the importer

Go to Assets in your workspace sidebar and click Import. Only organization admins see the button. The asset types in your file are linked to this workspace, so the imported assets show up in its Assets tab.
2

Upload your file

Upload a .csv file or paste your data.
3

Map your columns

Match each column in your file to an asset field. Asset Name and Asset Type are required. Asset Description and every custom asset field are optional. Columns you leave unmapped are ignored.
4

Start the import

Confirm the import. Ravenna shows an Asset import started toast and creates the assets in the background.
Import is create-only. It never updates an existing asset with the same name, so re-importing the same file produces duplicates.
Each imported asset fires the Asset Created workflow trigger.
