Import Devices

The Import Devices feature allows administrators to add multiple devices in bulk via CSV file. This is especially useful for organizations managing large volumes of devices across different device types, improving efficiency and reducing manual effort.

Accessing the Feature

  • Navigate to Access Management β†’ Devices

  • Click the Import Devices button

Note:
This action is available to Admins only.

Import Configuration

Before uploading a file, administrators must define the import context.

Device Type Selection

  • Select a Device Type from the dropdown (e.g., Laptops, Smartphones, Printers)

  • All devices in the uploaded file will be associated with this selected device type

Note:
Device type selection is mandatory and ensures that imported data aligns with the correct field structure.

Upload File

  • Click Upload File to select a CSV file

  • The file must follow the supported template format

Download Template (Recommended)

  • Admins can download a sample CSV template

  • The template includes:

    • Required fields

    • Custom fields based on the selected device type

This helps ensure proper formatting and reduces validation errors.

Validation Rules

Once the file is uploaded, the system performs validation checks:

Field Validation

  • All required fields must be populated

  • Data must match expected formats (e.g., text, date, picklist values)

Duplicate Check

  • Duplicate Device IDs are flagged

  • Prevents creation of conflicting or redundant records

Device Type Compatibility

  • Uploaded data must match the field structure of the selected device type

  • Invalid or mismatched fields will trigger errors

Import Results

After processing, the system displays a summary of the import:

  • Success Count – Number of devices successfully imported

  • Failure Count – Number of records that failed validation

Error Details

  • Row-level error feedback is provided for failed records

  • Includes:

    • Row number

    • Field causing the error

    • Description of the issue

This allows admins to quickly identify and correct issues before re-uploading.
