CMDB - Import data files

The “Import data files” section is used to enter and update data from external sources into the system.

New data file import

To create a data file import, go to CMDB > Import data files and then click the “Import” button.

Next, in the “Select data file” window, click the “Select...” button.

In this step, select the desired file (.xlsx format).

Then click the “Select” button.

In this step, the “New data import” window contains the items:

1	Identification - Allows you to set whether the import records should be identified as unique or matched with already existing data.
2	Source attribute and target attribute - Allows you to map fields between the data source (e.g., the import file) and the system. The user can define which attribute from the imported file corresponds to which attributes in the system.
3	Field mapping - Here you define what information from the source file will correspond to specific fields in the system. For example, the “Name” field in the file can be mapped to the “CI Type” field in the system.
4	Automatic generation of inventory numbers - This option allows the system to automatically assign unique inventory numbers to newly imported assets, making them easier to identify and manage later.
5	Automatically create or update workstations in ITM - If checked, allows the system to automatically create new workstations in ITM.

Fill in the desired fields and click the “Save” button.

Finally, click the “To import” button to import the data files.
