Hi Sean, good to have you onboard. You mean the department field list on the asset details of the Endpoint in UMS? A mass import like on CSV, right?

System,Import,Import Devices,Long Format might help?


@member, does a csv work to update existing objects or will it only work for importing new objects? Importing a csv is by far the easiest way to load all that device information ahead of time.

Anyways, if you need to update a bunch of existing objects, I would probably familiarize yourself with the API and @member’s PSIGEL powershell module


@member it should yes, from what I recall. Will check later on!


Yes looking to update existing assets… and just the dept field

so there is a way to add dept field during a new asset import?


New asset import: CSV, Update the field (but cannot check atm.) CSV Import AND/OR IMI RestApi


I may not understand this.. (but cannot check atm.) CSV Import AND/OR IMI RestApi

my apologizes


I mean on an initial import of endpoints, you may use the CSV Import and if you want to update the field on existing endpoints: IMI (our Rest API) or CSV Reimport (but cannot check if that one works). Sorry was on a call and should have taken more time to write.


1. ok gotcha now

does a reimport right over anything or would just add whats misisng?

write


That‘s what I can‘t test for the moment😉


@member i think the re-import mode works – never tested it myself – and propably @member told me it would, which would mean it does 😄

but you can also you IMI / API and therefore my Powershell module PSIGEL, especially this function: github.com/IGEL-Community/PSIGEL/blob/master/Docs/Update-UMSDevice.md
