# Private Assets Import

This page explains how to use the Private Assets Import option.

## Overview

You can add/or update [Private Asset](broken://pages/eIC3EKq3W5hWtAu59Baw)s in bulk using the Private Assets Import options.

Private Assets are used in [Recovery](broken://pages/iX5K34MTmeOQC8xMW0Kw) [Cases](broken://pages/Sfj9Pht3MY5OyzcTaJAs) for tracking affected people.

This import assumes that private assets are damaged and is used to record the severity of the impact.

Refer to the register page for general instructions:

{% content-ref url="/pages/QP6MVwI3qEAEvatbmPc3" %}
[Imports](/system-administration/configuring-the-system/imports.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Considerations

When importing consider the following:

* **Name** - is required for all geospatial items
* **Case ID** - to link the private assets to specific Case/s
* **ID or Asset** - use this to match/update an existing item.
* **Status** - defaults to DAMAGED.
* **Building Category** and **Building Type** - are used in conjunction with [lookup](/system-administration/configuring-the-system/lookups.md)s to record the type of building.

## Import File <a href="#instructions" id="instructions"></a>

A CSV format file is required with the correct field mappings.

Refer to the Import Field Mappings section in the [Import Instructions](/system-administration/configuring-the-system/imports.md#import-instructions) section for the latest import file requirements.

## Import Steps

To import the file:

1. Refer to the general instructions in [Imports](/system-administration/configuring-the-system/imports.md).
2. In the General section select **Type**: *Register Items*

{% hint style="info" %}
Despite the name, Private Assets is not in the Type: Assets, as [Private Asset](broken://pages/eIC3EKq3W5hWtAu59Baw)s is a register
{% endhint %}

3. For **Parsing Rule:** select *Private Assets Import*
4. Under **Import File:** use the **Add file** button

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.cw.crisisworks.com/system-administration/configuring-the-system/imports/register-items/private-assets-import.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
