Note: All the other types of import (customized fields) follow the same idea.

1 -Go the management group (pool) where you would like to upload new or modified inventory.

2 - Import or upload en masse the items of interest

The import is done by using an excel file that is available in the mytem interface itself.

2.3 - Use the example to enter your data in the excel file by clicking "here" in the "Download template here".

2.4 - Fill in the required items and the rest where you would like to add data.

The information below explains how mytem processes the data, and gives the "rules to follow" for the data to be recognized and processed by mytem.

The employee ID, lines, SIM/SAM, IMEI, and serial number have to be unique- that means that duplicate values may lead to error.

2.5 Once your file is filled, drag and drop it in the upload window, or click on it to search the file from where you saved it.

2.6 The data are now found in the Inventory.

A confirmation message "Success" will be shown in the same window (see more information in point 4 below).

If your import file contains more than 1,000 rows processing will take place overnight, and the new data will be available within 24 hours. In you have less than 1000 rows the new data will be uploaded within two hours.

Note that if a row in the file contains an error (for example a duplicate phone line), the clean data will be uploaded while the ones in error will be left out.

The items in error will be recorded in a log file (point 4 below).

Here are the best practices for a successful import:

Inutilité à renommer le fichier No need to rename the file
Make sure that there are no duplicates, and that a user is assigned a unique ID.
No macros or formulas in the text.
No customized cell format.
Items in numbers like IMEI or phone lines need to have Text as a cell format
Les lignes vides en dessous des dernières données saisies dans le fichier doivent être supprimées (évite que des caractères invisibles bloquent le traitement). Empty rows after the last data need to be deleted to ensure that invisible characters do not block the processing).
Reminder especially for importing updates to an existing management group (pool): remember to fill in the column Management Group. Otherwise mytem will consider your import to be a new one and will assign a new pool to your data.

Here are the rules per column of the import file:
