Copy/Duplicate Assets

To reduce data entry when creating assets in ExhibitDay, instead of creating an asset from scratch, you can create a duplicate copy of an existing asset that is most similar to the asset you’re looking to create. To make a copy of an existing asset, go to the asset page and choose the “Copy/Duplicate Asset” option from the extended menu of the asset page tab strip.

Under the Copy/Duplicate tab, you’ll be able to choose the Name of the new asset, and you can select various options for creating the copy. Once you’re done making your selections, click the “Create Copy” button; the system will create a copy of the asset for you based on the options you selected and you’ll be taken to the newly created asset page.

Btw, did you know that you can bulk upload your assets into ExhibitDay from a spreadsheet? For more info, please refer to this article.

Copying Asset Reservations From Other Events

To save some data entry time, you can copy asset reservations from another event that has similar assets reserved. Use the extended menu of the “Reserve an Asset for this Event” button on the event “Asset Reservation” tab in order to start the copy process.

Copy Assets From Another Event

Once the copy dialog appears, select the event you would like to copy asset reservations from. Then, select each asset reservation you would like to copy over and enter the reservation details. When you’re done making your selections, click the “Submit” button at the bottom of the dialog to complete the copy process.

Import Assets From Another Event Dialog

Note: the ability to copy asset reservations from another event is only available if you are on the Premium or the Enterprise plan.
