Dear Ray, Thanks for your response.
I am curious if anyone in the community has extended the input format by adding more information like IDs, owner/area informatiom etc. For e.g. adding another column in branch data for IDs.

I agree all devices need some unique identifier independent of the order in the input data. At some point I expect we’ll update the input format again and add things like that.

For example, if there are two lines, it is probably not possible to retrieve the line information of one of the two lines unless we know the exact row number in the branch data. > > Any ideas to do this?
