Import device information

This task explains how to import Device information into Device Registration Service from a CSV file.

The Application name and type specified for an imported Device must match the name and type of an existing Application on the DRS server where you want to import a Device. The import will fail for a Device if there is no Application on the server with the name and type specified in the DRS Device export file. In a DRS export file, the Application name and type correspond to the values specified in a Device entry by the ApplicationProfile and DeviceType fields.

  2. Click Devices.
  3. Click the import button Import devices button on the Devices toolbar and select the import method:

Imported Devices are always added to the root Devices folder. After you successfully import a Device, you can optionally drag it to a group folder with the same Application profile. For more information, see the DRS Installation Guide.
