Importing Data Points

Import points by clicking:

Site → Site Builder → Discovery & Selection

Here are the four simple steps to importing points to the Switch Platform:

1. Device Discovery
   
   Start by doing a device discovery, via the ‘device discovery’ button, select your device network, discovery type and select ‘yes’ to import points.
   
   
   
   Once your device discovery is finalized you can view ‘new’ points into your Discovery & Selection view.
   
   

2. Display & Fill Switch Fields
   
   Via the manage column on the grid options, choose to display:
   
   
   • Device Name
   • Display Name
   • Equipment Type
   • Equipment Label
   • Device Type
   • Template
   • Unit Of Measure
     
     
     
     Ensure all these fields are filled correctly in order to map them.

3. Set Import Status to ‘to import’
   
   Now set the ‘to import’ status to the points you want to import. Users can do this individually or filter a set and then apply a change of status to all points selected.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Import Points
   
   Once you are ready to import, select the points you want to import via the check box on the grid and click ‘import’ button on the top right. Once your points are imported they will show ‘imported’ into Discovery & Selection view.
