Bulk Importing Device Relocation Mappings

About this task

You can upload a .csv file that contains multiple device relocation mappings rather than individually setting each mapping in the device relocation rule wizard.

To import a .csv to SOTI MobiControl for use with a device relocation rule:

Procedure

  1. Create the custom data you want to use with this device relocation rule and apply it to the relevant devices.
  2. Create a .csv file with each entry in the following format:
    \\My Company\Sales Devices,192.0.1.2,192.3.4.5,customdata,value

    Where

    My Company\Sales Devices Is the Destination Group that device will move into when they trigger the rule
    192.0.1.2 Is the low end of the IP address range.
    192.3.4.5 Is the high end of the IP address range.
    customdata Is the custom data name.
    value Is the value of the custom data.
    Important: Follow this format carefully. Furthermore,
    • Place each entry on a new line.
    • Add an empty line to the end of the file or SOTI MobiControl will ignore the last entry.
    • Do not upload a file larger than 65,535 bytes.
  3. Start the device relocation rule wizard and on the Mapping screen, click Import CSV File.
  4. Browse to your .csv file and upload it to MobiControl.
  5. Finish configuring your device relocation rule.
