Importing Your Network Tree

Examples:

You can import a tree structure using the Import button. Comma delimited files are used to import a tree structure. The format of the file is:

There are different ways to create a comma delimited file but the most trouble-free way is to use a text editor, such as Notepad. Fields may be blank with no blank space between the commas (i.e., ,,).

folder,localhost,AirDefense 1,,Floor,1,US/Southeast/Alpharetta/Sanctuary Park/The Falls 1125 
folder,localhost,AirDefense 2,,Floor,2,US/Southeast/Alpharetta/Sanctuary Park/The Falls 1125

Note

At this time, you can only import a tree structure to your local appliance. You do so by specifying localhost as your server.

You can edit existing tree structures using the Import Tree Structure button. Importing a new CSV files does not replace an existing tree structure; instead, you can use the commands add or delete at the end of an import line to incrementally add or remove scope levels from the existing tree structure.

The add and remove commands must be added to each line, separated by a comma, after the Path entry.

folder,localhost,The Falls 1125,,Building,,US/Southeast/Alpharetta/Sanctuary Part/The Falls 1125/Floor 2,add 
folder,localhost,The Falls 1125,,Building,,US/Southeast/Alpharetta/Sanctuary Part/The Falls 1125/Floor3,delete

Note

The add command is assumed when neither add or delete is used in a comma delimited file, and add is included in the default exportable CSV file.

The path to the new folder must be present in the existing tree or be previously defined in the import file. For example, in the previous example, the path US/Southeast/Alpharetta/Sanctuary Park/The Falls 1125 must already exists. Here is how you define that path:

folder,localhost,US,,Country,, 
folder,localhost,Southeast,,Region,,US
folder,localhost,Alpharetta,,City,,US/Southeast folder,localhost,Sanctuary Park,,Campus,,US/Southeast/Alpharetta
folder,localhost,The Falls 1125,,Building,,US/Southeast/Alpharetta/Sanctuary Park

Once you have finished building your network tree, click the Apply button to save your changes. This applies even when importing Auto-Placement rules with the Import Tree Structure button. You may click the Reset button to revert back to your previous network tree configuration.
