CI created through Asset import spreadsheet, but Asset not showing up

Hello everyone, 

Few weeks ago, I was given the task to import 200 new laptops to the Asset table (alm_hardware), which I used the Excel template for it. 
Before importing, I created the Product Model. 
Then, imported the data into the Asset table, CI's were created as expected but the Assets were not appearing. Only 6 records are being shown.
In the Workstation table (cmdb_ci_computer) I can see the 200 computers, like below example.Screenshot 2025-06-26 at 15.23.33.png
The first column above is the Configuration Item, if I search in the Asset table for those CI's, nothing is showing up.

I'm planning to use this script as example and modify accordingly to link the CI's to Assets.

But would like to check with the community to see if someone has a better approach or knows what could have
happened.

EDIT: forgot to mention, checking the Workstation table, the Asset column shows empty values, but when trying to filter to show only those Ci's with no Asset I get no record.

Luiz,

To confirm, you were using quick import into the alm_hardware table? What columns were in your excel sheet? I was assuming you were using a custom built transform map or RTE where the data would go through the IRE to verify identication.
