Import Assets from CSV
Bulk import lets you create many assets in iRis Cloud at once from a CSV file instead of adding them one by one. Each row creates (or updates) one asset and can include server attributes and time-series values.
What You Can Import
Section titled “What You Can Import”| Column type | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Asset name (required) |
| Type | Asset type (required). It is matched to the asset profile with the same name; if none exists, one is created |
| Label | Optional display label |
| Description | Optional description |
| Server attribute | Any key — stored as a server-side attribute |
| Time series | Any key — stored as a time-series data point |

- Upload your CSV file. Set the CSV delimiter and toggle First line contains column names if applicable.
- Enable Update attributes/telemetry if you want matching existing assets to be updated rather than flagged as errors.
