5.24 Importing devices from a manifest file

Important: Before you can import devices from a manifest file, you must customize your MyID installation with a hook that converts the import file into a format that MyID can use. For more information, contact Intercede quoting reference SUP-372.

If you are importing a batch of devices with sequential serial numbers, you can specify the range in the Import Devices screen; see section 5.23, Importing a range of devices. However, if your devices do not fit into a neatly sequential range, you can import their serial numbers using a manifest file.

1. Select the Devices category.

2. Click Import.

   The Import Devices screen appears.

   

3. Click File and select the manifest file containing the serial numbers you want to import.

4. Complete the following fields:

   • Device Type – select the type of device from the drop-down list.

   • Chip Type – optionally, provide the chip type for the device; for example, IDEMIA ID-One PIV v81.

   • Location ID – select the initial location for the devices from the drop-down list.

     See section 9, Working with locations.

   • Stock Code – select the stock code for the devices.

     See section 8.2, Editing inventory lists for details of setting up the list of stock codes.

   • Import Label – type a label to be associated with the imported devices. You can use this in the Available Device Stock search criteria to find these devices; see section 5.25, Viewing imported devices.

5. Click Save.
