Device Bulk Import

3min

You can add devices in bulk to Kron PAM.
Device Bulk Import can only be used to add new devices for the first time. Bulk Import does not work for updating existing device information and assigning current devices to other device groups. If a device is already in the inventory, you cannot edit the device or add it to another device group with the bulk import option.
To add devices in bulk:
Click on Devices > Import Devices button.
Click Download Template. An Excel file named deviceBulkImportTemplate is downloaded.
Download Bulk Import File
﻿
Open the template file and enter the device’s information as described in the column descriptions.
Save the template file on your computer.
On the Import Devices screen, click Browse and select the template file you saved.
Click Upload File to add the device list to the Parse Results section on the Device Bulk Import screen.
Click Import Devices.
You added the devices to their specified device groups in the Device Inventory.

Adding Devices to Parent or Child Groups
Separate parent device groups from the child device groups with a forward slash (/). Forward slash (/) at the start of a device group path indicates that the first group is the parent device group. Ex: /ParentDG/ChildDG1/ChildDG2
A device group cannot have both the device group and the device. Only the sub-group at the bottom of the device group tree can have devices.
When adding a device to ChildDeviceGroup2, you can enter the group name in the following ways:
/ParentDeviceGroup/ChildDeviceGroup1/ChildDeviceGroup2
ParentDeviceGroup/ChildDeviceGroup1/ChildDeviceGroup2 
ChildDeviceGroup1/ChildDeviceGroup2
ChildDeviceGroup2
A device group path can contain up to 10 device groups with parent and child relationships.
Entering new groups
If the group name you enter does not exist, the application creates a new group with the given name.
Device group names must be unique and cannot contain a forward slash (/).
