How does the system identify existing assets during import?

The system identifies pre-existing assets (to update them instead of creating new ones) based on a defined priority of three fields, checked in the following order:

1. Asset Code.
2. Serial Number.
3. Barcode.

This mechanism only applies when the “Update Existing Records” option is enabled during import. If one of these fields matches an asset that already exists in the system, its data is updated instead of creating a duplicate record. If the option is disabled, or no match is found, the asset is created as a new record.
