Importing license pools from a CSV file

Miradore administrators and license administrators can imports license pool from a CSV file to Miradore Management Suite in the License pools view.

How it works

1. Run the view task.
   
   
   

2. Download the Excel template file, unless you already have a CSV file with license pool data.
   
   
   

3. Remove the example data from the template and fill in the data about the license pools that you'd like to import.
   
   
   

4. Save the file in CSV format.
   
   
   

5. Upload the CSV file to the Import wizard.
   
   
   

6. Check the correctness of the import data in the preview. The preview shows problematic data with red font. Hover your cursor over the problematic row to learn what's the problem with the data.
   
   
   

7. Import the data by pressing "Import". Successfully imported license pools will appear to License pools view in 'New' status.

8. Problematic license pools won't be imported. You can see information about the data validations errors in the last screen of the wizard. Use the "Download as Excel..." option to download an Excel file with the problematic license pools. After fixing the problematic data, you can retry the import by starting the process over from the beginning.
   
   
   

After a successful import, you should check the imported license pools in Miradore and fill in the rest of the information that is needed to activate the license pools. At least, you should go and define the software that each of the imported license pools permit to use. The simplest way to do that is to select license pools in the License pools view and use the "Tools > Add software" task to launch up the wizard, which lets you define what software each of the selected license pools permits to use.
