Import Asset Data

Import TagNet Asset Data

The utility function enables Asset data to be imported into TagNet’s Object repository from an external Inventory or Asset management system. The file format is a simple XLS or CSV flat file that is populated according to mapping standards documented here. The Import is based on the RFDIAST binding that needs to be setup prior. Note that this utility is meant for a one time or occasional import. To import Asset data on a production basis from a 3rd party system refer to the Scheduled Tasks topic.
