Importing data using import utility
In the WDM Common Utilities section, you can import data from comma-delimited and tab-delimited les. This utility allows you to import
devices, subnets, IP ranges, repositories, or default groups for subnets from a le into the WDM database. The data must be imported from
at les. A delimited at le contains one or more records separated by a specied delimiter or separator such as a comma or a tab.
To import data, perform the following steps:
1 From the drop-down, select the preferred category.
The Import Category drop-down lists the following options:
• Device
• Subnets
• IP Ranges
• Repositories
• Default Groups for Subnets
2 Navigate to the folder and select the le.
The le name appears in the Import File Name eld.
3 Click Import to import the data les.
4 Click Clear to clear all the entries.
