Importing desk entities from CSV files using Office Manager - Security Center Office Manager 3.0

If you want to use data from another solution to populate desk entities in Security Center, you can import data from a CSV file to create a desk entity.

1. From Config Tool, open the Plugins task, and select the Office Desks plugin role.
2. Click Create desks, and from the list, select Import desks.
3. From the Welcome tab, set up the import:
   1. Select the CSV file to import.
   2. In the Delimiter field, enter the delimiter used in the CSV file.
   3. In the Start at line field, enter the line number from where the import should begin.
   4. Click Next.
4. From the Mappings tab, in the External field column, select the column from the CSV file to map to the desk entity.
   Only the Name field is mandatory. If your CSV file lacks a column to associate to the desk field, you can set the external field to Unassigned.

   Some fields can contain several values. In this case, you must configure an additional delimiter to separate the content of the column.

   
   The Sample value column shows the first value from the associated External field of the CSV file.
5. Click Next, and wait for the import to be processed.
6. Click Close.
