It is not possible to import locations using the '''[[AuditWizard - Using AuditWizard - Administration - General - Database Maintenance - Import & Export#Assets and Locations|Assets and Locations]]''' method because that method imports assets with their locations. The asset is the focus of that method. A list of locations have to be imported directly into the database using Management Studio. The table structure is as follows:
 
 
    _LOCATIONID,_FULLNAME,_NAME,_PARENTID,_START_IPADDRESS,_END_IPADDRESS,_HIDDEN

[edit] Overview

The import feature allows you to import data from a flat CSV file into the AuditWizard database. This interface was originally designed to import text files that were exported from AuditWizard v7, but most of the options may also be used to quickly create the location structure, user-defined data, and asset data. It can be useful when migrating from another application, or when a spreadsheet of data must be quickly added to AuditWizard. There are four different data import options:

[edit] Assets and Locations

Use this option to import Assets and the Location structure. An example CSV has been loaded below.

[edit] Creating an Import File

If you are constructing a CSV file for import, the file should have no headers (first row is first asset). The location should be listed first, followed by starting and ending IP addresses (null if not applicable, like with a device), and finishing with an asset name.

Examples: Computers:

   Location1,192.168.1.1,192.168.1.255,ASSET1
   Location2,192.168.2.1,192.168.2.255,ASSET2
   Location3,192.168.3.1,192.168.3.255,ASSET3

Non-Computer Devices:

   Location1,,,Phone1
   Location1,,,Phone2
   Location2,,,Phone3
   Location2,,,Phone4

[edit] Picklists and Items

This import option allows for the import of Picklists and Picklist Items. If the Picklist already exists, then the Items will be imported into it. If the Picklist does not yet exist, then it will be automatically created.

[edit] User Defined Data Fields

Use this import feature to import user-defined data values. If the fields have already been configured in User Defined Data, then the values will be imported into them as defined. If the fields do not yet exist, then they will be automatically created. An example CSV file has been loaded below.

[edit] Asset History Data

This is used to import asset history data that was exported from AuditWizard v7.
