Hi Mike, Thanks! So I just need to import in 1 form? For example, if I want to create a Computer System asset, I just need to import to the AST:ComputerSystem form? Also, how do I know which fields are mandatory and which ones will be automatically generated? (e.g. Should I just leave the Reconciliation ID and Instance Id fields blank?) Regards, Kali

The best method I've found to use is: 1) Create/Open the CSV and sanitise the data. 2) Open the ComputerSystem form in the user tool and work out which column on the CSV you want to go in to which field on the CS form. I then write the name of the field in a new row at the top of the sheet and work my way across the sheet. 3) If your not sure on the field names - open Dev Studio and cross check the field names with the actual name. I then write this in a further row at the top of the sheet. 4) Once finished I delete the unused column names, and then map in to the Data Import tool. Once you've done it a few times, you can get quite proficient at it !! You'll also need to include some mandatory fields as well such as status and data set ID.
