Receive Items for a Site via Importing Tags

Prepare "Receive By Tag Import" data template

The “Receive By Tag” import allows the user to receive items to a room/student/staff located on the respective site by importing an XLSX or CSV file into Asset Management. If the product type has associated Custom Fields, the custom field data may also be included in the import. You are required to include any custom field that is configured as “required” in the application.

Template Requirements:

You will need a separate template (or worksheet in a workbook) for each location type in which assets are to be placed.

  • To import to a location of Room, the file must contain the minimum: Tag#, Serial# (if required for product type), Room#, and Status.
  • To import to a location of Student, the file must contain the minimum: Tag#, Serial# (if required for product type), and Student ID.
  • To import to a location of Staff, the file must contain the minimum: Tag#, Serial# (if required for product type), and Staff ID.
  • Required fields mentioned above should have a cell format of “general”
  • Custom Fields should have a cell format that matches that field’s data type in the application
