Creating CSV Device List

To create the devices in CSV, use the device list template provided in Automation_Builder.

  1. In the main menu, click Tools ‣ Create CSV Device list.

    The device list template is opened in the MS Excel.

    Note

    The template can only be opened if MS Excel is installed and configured to open .csv files.

    In this file, add each device in a separate row with device information like Device Type (Order Num or Device Type Name) and instance details (name, tag) and hierarchy information (parent Device name, parent Device Tag, position). The mandatory information required to import CSV is only Device Type. All other fields are optional. After editing the device list CSV file, save it in the file system and close.
