Copy a Device

Use Copy to quickly create multiple devices that share the same category, price, warranty, and vendor — for example, when a batch of identical laptops arrives.

When is Copy available?

info

Copy is available only for devices with New status. Once a device has been assigned to a user or place (and thus becomes In-use), the Copy action is hidden.

How to copy

1. Navigate to Devices and select a device with New status.

2. In the top action bar of the information panel, click Copy.

   

3. In the Copy of #N dialog:

   • Use the − / + buttons to set the Number of copy (up to 7 per operation).
   • Enter a unique Serial Number for each copy (the #1 Serial Number field repeats per copy).
   • A preview of the resulting device appears on the right.

4. Click Save to create the copies.

What is copied?

Field	Copied?
Category + category attributes	✅
Price & currency	✅
Invoice data (number, date, vendor)	✅
Warranty duration & end date	✅
Device image	✅
Tags	✅
Comment	✅
Serial number	❌ — you enter a unique value per copy
Barcode	Regenerated per copy (see below)
History	❌ — each copy starts with its own history log

Barcode behavior

If Barcode generation is enabled in Settings → Barcode, each copy receives a freshly generated barcode. If barcode generation is disabled, copies have no barcode until one is entered manually.

Tips

• If you receive more than 7 identical devices, repeat the Copy action as needed, or use Import with a prepared Excel template.
• Copies are created with New status and assigned to IT Department regardless of the original's assignment — this matches the common workflow of bulk-registering stock before distributing to employees.
• The original device is unchanged — Copy never modifies the source record.
