Inline Editing for Assets Data

Inline Editing for Assets Data

Currently, users need to click on an object to open a separate window on the right side to enter data for the parameters. This process is time-consuming and clumsy.

 

Proposal: Introduce an inline editing feature that allows users to change data directly in the table cells, similar to Docs. This would significantly improve user-friendliness.

@Martin_EckartA47G7 Have you tried importing a sheet where all the info is prefilled on a spreadsheet or is this something you prefer to be doing one by one on the go?

@buildintel Depending on the use case, we import the data via a spreadsheet. However, the inline editing feature would improve user-friendliness. Apart from that, it is already available in other modules.

@Martin_EckartA47G7 would it be of interest to have a separate tool that functioned exactly as you described and updated/edited ACC assets automatically?

@buildintel At the moment, we don't see a need for a separate tool, but we appreciate the idea.

Edit Assets in table format, similar to exporting out to excel - having both options would benefit. At the moment the team have to individually click on each Asset and update where sometimes the team prefer Excel like features.

Yes, and the Batch Edit function would also be nice. E.g. when you have 20 assets from one manufacturer - batch edit would save loads of time.

Spot onl Clicking into individual assets for a large list of updates is a time sink.

It's possible to build a bridge that pulls ACC Assets into a live-editable grid. It gives you the speed of sheets. Bulk updates completed in seconds.
