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.

You can also export following 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.
- Tip
-
When exporting the asset information that you registered in contract information, the items that are output vary depending on the contract type. If the contract type is Fixed, Lease, or Rent, the items Contract Vendor Name and Contract Date are output. However, if the contract type is Maintenance or Support, the items Contract Vendor Name and Contract Date are not output.
