Import Data File
• Data start line number
The data in your .csv file might start at a line other than 1. If your .csv file was created an
export, the data probably start at line 2. You might have a reason for starting data in any
other line. In any case, specify the line number at which your data start.

The options section has 3 choices:
• Target table.
This option has a drop-down list from which you can select a table:
Choose this option when you want to import data to a specific table. You can choose one of
the following 4 tables:
Device Category CategoryDetail PhysConn
After you choose the table, click the ‘Create Mapping’ button to continue with the import.
• Import mapping file.
Choose this option if you have saved a mapping file and want to retrieve it. When you
choose this option, a ‘Browse’ button appears:
Click the browse button to locate a mapping file that you have previously saved using the
‘Save Mapping’ button of the next page in the import sequence.
Mapping files are always saved in NV9000-SE Utilities’ database repository
(
C:\Users\‹user›\CtrlSysConfigs under Windows 7) and have no file extension. Be
careful to choose a mapping file that is appropriate for the data you want to import.
Two of the 3 buttons at the bottom of the page advance to the next page in the import
sequence. These are ‘Create Mapping’ and ‘Update/Preview Mapping’.
When you have chosen to import a mapping file, do not click ‘Create Mapping,’ but click
‘Update/Preview Mapping’ instead. Clicking the ‘Create Mapping’ button causes the soft-
ware to ignore your mapping file and create an entirely new mapping in the next page of
the import sequence.
