Import Categories, Devices, Ports from CSV File
To expedite configuration, you can import pre-defined categories, elements of those categories,
and the ports and devices to which the categories apply from a CSV file. After importing, you can
have CC-SG validate the file to ensure the file was formatted properly. If errors are discovered,
they are displayed.
Once successfully imported, the categories and elements are added to the CC-SG database and
they are applied to the ports and devices as specified in the file. The devices specified in the CSV
file must have been added to CC-SG prior to importing
⎯please see Add Device in Chapter 5:
Adding Devices and Device Groups. Also, the ports specified in the CSV file must have been
configured in CC-SG prior to importing
⎯please see Configure Port in Chapter 6: Configuring
Ports and Port Groups.
On the Setup menu, click Scripts, then Import Categories. The Import Categories screen
appears.
