Using the Multiple Asset Creation Wizard

 

The Asset Creation Wizard enables you to automatically create more than one asset record. You can enter data to populate asset fields in all records created and display prompts for entering data unique to a record. You can save your settings in a profile for use later.

The Asset Wizard option appears on the Create menu on the Desktop Views tab if the Use Multiple Asset Wizard permission has been assigned to you in your Support Representative Profile record. Select New in the first screen to start the process; complete the fields and click Next.
