Copying an Asset Record

Often there is a great deal of repetition when creating asset records.  You can use the Copy Asset feature to create asset records for several assets with similar details.  For example, if you have to create asset records for 12 lawnmowers, you can save time by creating an asset for the first lawnmower and then copying it for the remaining lawnmowers.  Copying an asset can be easily done by following these few steps.
