Import Data

Introduction

The Import Data task can help you to create and update Ranges, IP addresses or Devices/Interfaces from an excel spreadsheet

Simply copy the contents of the excel spreadsheet, or relevant parts of it, and paste into the text area field in the task.

The pasted data will be tab separated, so it is also possible to generate a tab separated string by other means and paste that in to the text area, instead of using excel.

It is also possible to paste in comma or semi-colon separated data, and the delimiter will be automatically detected.

The first line in the spreadsheet and pasted data must be the header line. It should contain the column names of the Custom and system properties that are to be imported.

IP addresses:


Devices/Interfaces:

* If the Interface column is missing or empty, no interface will be created/updated for that line.

Note: Boolean values are 1/0, y/n or Yes/No, case insensitive.
