is there an easy wat to batch update a (custom) field for assets? We have 750 assets that need to be modfied...

thanks!

Hi ray, this can only achieved with using our API and writing a small program that loop all Assets and update the fields.

Hope this helps.

so how do I do that? I'm not about to manually update 750 assets... (!)

Ray, email me if this is something you really need to do. I might have a couple tips. luke@incomservice.net

...I'm sure this is done all the time but that's a bit daunting and the last thing I want to do is incorrectly modify (or corrupt) our data. Was hoping for a batch update tool like the one that is included with Accounts that luddites like myself could use without requiring a new skillset. Is there any chance we could get that added to all the major objects (tickets, charges, assets, etc.)?

and thanks Luke, I'm going to hold off for a bit on this for now.

cheers!

Well, with all of the different requests I do not think that this will be introduced soon. Such a feature is available for Accounts (Batch update) though. API is your friend here...

If the tool has already been created for Accounts, why not simply bolt it onto other windows (tickets, charges, asset, etc.) -- seems like a pretty simple addition.
