Bulk Add Assets
Use this article as a reference when filling out the Bulk Add Assets template. It covers each column in the template, which are required, and what to prepare before uploading.
Before you upload
- Confirm the Customer and Space referenced in your file already exist.
- Assets are inventory records — they are not connected or monitored, so no IP, MAC address, or connection parameters are needed.
Column reference
These are the columns in the Bulk Add Assets template.
| Column | Requirement | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Customer | Mandatory | Acme University |
| Space Path | Mandatory | Campus / Building A / Room 101 |
| Name | Mandatory | Conference Room PDU |
| Vendor | Optional | Middle Atlantic |
| Device Model | Optional | RLNK-915R |
| Type | Optional | PDU / Display / Sensor |
| Serial Number | Optional | RLNK-915R-00EA5A |
| Status | Optional | Active / In storage / Retired |
| Purchase Date | Optional | 2026-06-02 |
Note: Only Name is mandatory per asset, plus the Customer and Space Path that place it. All other columns can be left blank.
How to submit
Save your file as a CSV with the column names above as the header row, and name it assets_bulk_upload_for_<org name>.csv (replace <org name> with the tenant name). Then email it to [email protected], and the Xyte Support team will process the file and add the assets to the specified spaces.
Additional notes
- Space Path uses the same separators as your space hierarchy — for example,
Campus / Building A / Room 101. - Vendor, Device Model, Type, and Status accept either an existing value or a new one — matching the "select or add / create" behavior in the Add Asset form. New values are created automatically.
- Purchase Date should be entered as
YYYY-MM-DD(for example,2026-06-02). It is stored as an ISO 8601 timestamp (2026-06-02T00:00:00Z) and shown in the assets list as a readable date such as Jun 02, 2026. - The in-app Add new asset form also offers an optional Comments field, which is not part of the bulk template.
