Device Import

Bulk import device SNs via template to prepare for onboarding and registration. Ideal for batch setup before deployment.

Updated over 5 months ago

1. Feature Overview and Application Objectives

The Device Import module allows you to import device information in bulk using a standardized template file. This helps build a device asset list and lays the groundwork for registration and policy configuration.

You can also view import records, progress, and detailed data per entry.

Notes:

  1. This feature is mainly used for importing non-iMin brand device data, and only supports devices under the KMA type.

  2. iMin device information is automatically synced from the iMin IT system into KiwiCloud; no manual import is required.

  3. If KMA or IMA devices are not imported, they cannot be registered.

Typical Use Cases:

  • Import device information in batches before project rollout

  • System integrators upload SNs of multi-brand devices for centralized management

  • Channel partners or customers prepare asset lists for deployment

  • Prepare devices for batch registration and binding

Primary Actions:

  • Download the import template, complete it, and upload the device list

  • View the task list and track import progress

  • View device-level details under each import task

Secondary Actions:

  • Search import records by SN

  • Export detailed import records
