From the Safety Network Pre-Assigned asset screen you will see a link called Bulk Register.

Clicking on that link will group all of the same asset types together. You can then register all similar asset types together. For example, if there was 42 Slings and 23 Eye Bolts Pre-Assigned to you then you can register all 42 Slings at once and then all 23 Eye Bolts at once.
