vFound’s Snipe-IT preset reads the column names in Snipe-IT’s own sample import file, including item name, asset tag, serial number and purchase cost.
Snipe-IT steps checked against its public help pages on 26 September 2026.
1. Export from Snipe-IT
- In Snipe-IT, open the Assets list, turn on Show all fields in the column selector, then use the table export.Source
- If the file opens as a spreadsheet, save it as CSV first. Excel’s comma or semicolon CSV both work.
2. Import into vFound Equipment
- In vFound, open Equipment and choose More, then Rules, service and import, then Import.
- Choose Snipe-IT as the source, choose your CSV file (or paste it), then Preview. vFound shows how many rows it can read and the first ones in full.
- Choose Import. An item whose asset tag is already in vFound is updated, not added twice. Up to 5,000 items go in at a time, from a file under 1 MB.
What comes with you
- Each asset with its name, asset tag, serial number, category, location and purchase cost as its value.
- People who use your equipment, through People, Import a CSV file.
What to keep a copy of
- Check-out history, audits and depreciation. vFound imports assets, not their history.
