As stated above there are common data columns used both by Profile Manager and by PTT Pro. Details of each element’s use is listed in the table below.
Once the import csv table is built it may be imported via the Browser or the API interface. To import through the browser, return to the Device User page and click on Import.
  1. To import through the browser, return to the
    Device User
    page and click
    Import
    .
  2. Navigate or drag the csv to import into the window.
    There is a choice to overwrite the existing records, or to replace the entire database. Replacing option deletes all user records from the system, so be careful of this operation if selected.
    • Overwrite leaves the user records in place, making adjustments to any existing records as specified in the csv. If there are new records they are added.
    • Replace Entire Database selection initializes all User records and imports the records into the Profile Manager and PTT Pro server as specified in the csv. In PTT Pro all existing Users are deleted for the customer but the Departments remains intact.
  3. Click the
    Map system attributes
    to select the operation to add users to Profile Manager, PTT Pro, or to the both servers.
    In the lower section of the screen clicking on the Profile Manager or PTT pro tabs provides the ability to map the csv elements to various data fields in each of the servers. The mapping for all columns in the csv must be assigned to server target data elements, or set to be ‘Ignored’.
  4. Select the either
    Profile Manager System
    or
    PTT Pro System
    tabs to map the csv elements to various data fields in each of the servers.
    The mapping for all columns in the csv must be assigned to server target data elements, or set as Ignored.
  5. To check on the job status, click the
    Import Device Users
    , then select
    View Last Import Status
    .
    Here in this 3-User example the import used the Reset the entire User Database option and was imported into both Profile Manager and PTT Pro. The Profile Manager had no existing user records, and there were three existing User records in PTT Pro prior to the import.
    Verify that all records were added as expected to Profile Manager and PTT Pro servers.
