# Copy an asset

You can create a blank asset and then use the **Copy Asset** batch job to copy information from an existing asset. This is useful when setting up several assets that have similar information.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Assets**, and then choose the related link.
2. On the **Home** tab, in the **New** group, choose **New**.
3. In the **No.** field, enter a number for the asset.

Alternatively, if you have set up number series for assets in the **Maintenance Setup** page, press **Enter** and the program enters the next available number.
4. On the **Actions** tab, in the **General** group, choose **Copy Asset**.
5. On the **Options** FastTab, fill in the fields.
6. Choose **OK** to start the batch job.

When the batch job finishes, the asset information specified in the request form is copied to the new asset card.
