# Bulk Importing Assets

***

### Step 1: Open your source Spreadsheet (Excel/CSV/XLSX)

Open your spreadseet asset list (i.e. in Excel). Select and copy (`Ctrl + C` or `Cmd + C`) the specific text column that holds the values you want to copy

* Tip: Always start with your unique identifiers column (e.g. Asset ID, or Unit Code) to smoothly establish the system base rows

#### Step 2: Go to the StayOnHire Fleet Page

Log into your Fleet page at [`app.stayonhire.com/assets`](https://app.stayonhire.com/assets/active). In the primary dark left-hand navigation sidebar panel, move down to the Company grouping list section and click onto the Fleet page.&#x20;

Look directly at the utility actions running along the top header bar of your active fleet data table:

1. Turn on interactive layout updates by clicking the inline slide indicator text marked 'Edit' mode.
2. Once active, go over to the right side of the filter controls and click the blue action button named `+ Add Asset`. This instantly focuses your selection onto a freshly generated empty data row.

#### Step 3: Paste your copied column of data

Click directly inside the focused primary input cell text box for your new line (specifically the Asset ID entry block). Execute a direct system clipboard paste action (`Ctrl + V` or `Cmd + V`).

StayOnHire will automatically intercept the multi-line array on your clipboard and instantly project every line item down sequentially, generating multiple rows across your asset tracking catalogue simultaneously in real time.

> 💡 Pro-Tip: Sequential Column Mapping: > Once your empty rows are successfully built out using the Asset IDs, you can go back to your Excel spreadsheet, copy subsequent data columns (such as *Short Description*, *Type*, or *Make/Model*), and paste them right into the matching column block in StayOnHire to quickly enrich your workspace profiles.
