Prevent Duplicate Asset Uploads Through Automated Validation in ACC Assets Module

Prevent Duplicate Asset Uploads Through Automated Validation in ACC Assets Module

Idea Description:
Currently, when uploading assets into the ACC Assets Module, duplicate asset records can be uploaded if they exist in the source spreadsheet. While the system performs validation checks for mandatory fields such as Status, Category, Location Missing, etc and restricts uploads when these are missing, there is no validation to identify or prevent duplicate assets.

Proposed Enhancement:
Implement a duplicate asset validation check during the asset upload process. Before completing the upload, the system should automatically scan the incoming dataset and compare it against existing assets and duplicate records within the upload file.

Expected Benefits:

  • Prevent unintentional duplicate asset creation.
  • Improve overall asset data quality and integrity.
  • Reduce manual effort required to identify and clean duplicate records.
  • Ensure more reliable asset registers for downstream processes and reporting.
  • Align duplicate validation with other existing upload validation checks.

This enhancement would be a valuable addition to the ACC Assets Module and help organizations maintain accurate and consistent asset data from the point of upload.

This may be an excellent idea (I don't know, because I don't know Forma Assets), but I don't think this is the correct forum for this... unless I'm wrong of course.  @kimberly_fuhrman-jones?  Should this be over in the Forma for Construction Ideas forum?  https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/forma-for-construction-ideas/idb-p/acc-ideas-en
