11.5 Exporting asset information
You can export the asset information displayed in the information area of the Assets module to a CSV file.
To export only specific items of asset information, use filters.
For example, to export only the asset information for the General Affairs Department, use a filter to display asset information for which the Department level is set to General Affairs Department.
- Tip
-
You can also export hardware asset information by executing the ioutils exportasset command. We recommend that you use this command if you need to regularly export asset information.
- Tip
-
If a hyphen (-) is displayed in the information area of the Hardware Asset view in the Assets module, when hardware asset information is exported, the hyphen is output as a null character. This enables the exported hardware asset information to be successfully imported when imported without changes.
To export asset information:
-
Display the Assets module.
-
Display the asset information to be exported in the information area.
-
From Action, select Export Hardware Asset List.
-
In the Select Export Columns dialog box, select the items to export, and then click OK.
To specify the character encoding for the exported CSV file, select a character encoding in Encoding. The character encoding is set to UTF-8 by default.
-
In the displayed view, click the Save button.
The CSV file is saved with the specified name in the location to which files are downloaded.
