Bring in your existing asset list

How to get an existing spreadsheet of assets into Asetavo with the Excel/CSV import wizard.

Updated Sep 28, 2026 · 2 min read

Import an Excel or CSV register yourself with the import wizard. Asetavo matches your columns, flags problem rows before anything is saved, and creates any missing categories, locations and custodians.

Prerequisites
The “create” permission. Creating new categories or locations also needs “manage”, and cost fields need “finance”.
  1. Open Import

    In your workspace, go to Register → Import (or choose “Import spreadsheet” on the dashboard checklist). Optional: download the template first — it has the columns Asetavo uses.

  2. Upload your file

    Drag in an .xlsx, .xls or .csv file (up to 5,000 rows and 10 MB). For a workbook with several sheets, pick the one to import.

  3. Match your columns

    Asetavo suggests an asset field for each column — name, tag, serial, category, location, custodian, purchase date, cost and more. Change any match, or skip columns you don’t need. Locations can be a path such as “HQ > Floor 2 > Room 204”.

  4. Review problem rows

    See which rows are ready, which have warnings and which have errors (for example a missing name or an unreadable date), plus duplicates against your register. Choose which new categories, locations and custodians to create.

  5. Import and check

    Start the import and watch progress; you can pause or cancel. At the end, download a CSV of any rows that didn’t import, with the reason, fix them and import that file again.

Questions

No. The import wizard is included on every plan.
