Editing a spreadsheet

Edit the rows in the spreadsheet to provide the unique device information required by each template instance.

Prerequisites: You previously exported one or more templates and created the template Excel spreadsheet.

Open the Excel spreadsheet.
To view the formula values, click the Name Manager icon in the Formulas ribbon.
The Name Manager opens.
The additional information, which comes straight from each template, includes the following:
- Template Filename
- Title
- Vendor
- Version
- UID
- column counts
- export version
CAUTION: Do not change any of the additional information listed above, as the bulk deployment process uses those values to deploy each remote station.
Fill the rows in each worksheet tab.
Each row represents a template instance used to configure a device or other station entity.
Parent Component Slot Path and Deployed Name are both required entries. The slot path can contain as many levels as needed. If elements of the slot path do not already exist in the station, the system automatically generates a Folder component for the missing element.
