Enable importing of assets along with their associated schedule dates.
IT Francis Tom Naparam
Currently, the asset import functionality allows users to upload asset details such as name, type, location, and other metadata. However, there is no option to include scheduled dates (e.g., preventive maintenance schedules, inspection dates) during the import process. This requires manual entry after import, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.
Proposed Enhancement:
Add support for importing scheduled dates as part of the asset import process. This can be achieved by:
Extending the import template (CSV/Excel) to include columns for:
Next Scheduled Date
Frequency/Interval
Last Service Date (optional)
Validating date formats during upload.
Automatically creating corresponding schedule entries in the system upon successful import.
Benefits:
Saves time by reducing manual data entry.
Ensures accuracy and consistency in scheduling.
Improves onboarding of large asset datasets for new implementations.
Priority:
High – This feature will significantly streamline asset management workflows.
