Actually we tried that (exporting templates into Excel and comparing) and have done a few tweaks, but so far still no joy........

Try exporting one that works into Excel, and see what fields are different compared to one that doesn't work. I bet that will show the problem. Then you can base your Excel template on data values you know are complete from the application's POV.

We didn't attempt to use Data Management tool for this (which we have used for Foundation data), just the regular Remedy Import tool. The problem we are seeing is that the template records that were created via import do not show up in the Incident Template Selection form in App Admin, only the templates that were created via App Admin show there. Of course we could have missed mapping a field here or there, but nothing so far is obviously "off".

Unfortunately, it's been a over a year ago, so I can't remember the specifics of HOW I did it, and I don't have the code. You might check to see if the Data Loader utility does that, and Effective Technologies has a Datalink application that might, too. What kind of problems are you seeing?

In attempt to avoid manual entry of this info via App Admin Console, we thought we'd try doing an import of this information into HPD:Template. So far, mixed results...... just wondering if anyone else has done this? And/or if anyone knows if this is just something that should NOT be attempted....... (needs to be done manually in App Admin). Thanks for any advice!
