In Asset Management, staff members are associated with certain rooms. Administrative users can export a current room-staff template that lists all room-staff assignments for that site. The user can then easily add/edit/remove staff room assignments. After edits are made, users can import the new spreadsheet to the site.

Template Rules

  • All staff added or removed from the import template will be reflected in the Staff tab for the corresponding room.
  • If no staff are currently assigned to rooms in Asset Management, the template will export one row for every unique room at the site.
  • If staff are currently assigned to rooms, the template will include a row for every unique staff ID assigned to a room at the site.
  • If multiple staff need to be assigned to a single room, duplicate the room number row.
  • Staff can be assigned to multiple rooms at the site.
  • If the same staff ID is entered for a duplicate room, only the first room-staff assignment will be made in Asset Management.
  • Rooms do not require a staff assignment.
  • Rooms do not need to be listed in descending order when imported.
  • If the staff ID field is left blank in the template, no room-staff assignment will be made in Asset Management.
  • If the staff ID field is deleted in the template, the room-staff assignment will be deleted in Asset Management.
  • If a room number is added to the template that does not exist at the site in Asset Management, no room will be created, and the upload will fail.
  • If a staff ID that does not exist at the site is added to the template, no staff will be created, and the upload will fail.
  • If an error occurs with the template upload, the “Error” window will open and provide an opportunity to download the error log for review.
