Importing Hierarchy Specs
To perform a Hierarchy spec Import via the appropriate template:
Go to Settings \ Data Transfer \ Import Data.
Go to the Hierarchy section.
Download the Hierarchy specs Template.
Fill the template in, taking note of the following:
For updating specs on Equipment, you must fill in Unit, Floc, and Equipment ID.
To configure the Spec for a given Equipment group, you must specify the Spec Name, Spec Category, Spec Qualifier, and Value.
When using this import type, the UoM will always be the default unit of measure ("barg" in this case).
Sequence (column M) is used for updating multi-value Specs. When there is only a single value, it should be set to 1.
For Circuit and CML Spec imports, to ensure that the Specs are assigned to the targeted Circuit or CML the import file must include:
For Circuit Specs: Unit, Floc, Equipment ID, Circuit, and Sub-circuit details.
For CML Specs: All of the above plus CML information.
Go back to the Import Wizard and Click Browse and select your saved file.
Select the Hierarchy Spec import type.
Then follow the usual Importing Data Steps.
