Essentials for Office 365 2.15 - User Guide

Copy and Tag SharePoint Items Using CSV

This option allows the user to create a CSV file that will copy files located within SharePoint rather than in a file system. A typical scenario for this is to copy many files but with unique metadata changes for each file. This can be done by creating and modifying the CSV file and then using the Upload Copy Content Using CSV option.

1.To run this operation follow the instructions in the Copy, Move, and Tag SharePoint Content section. Don't forget to select the "Create CSV File for Uploading, Tagging or Copying files" option on the final summary page of the wizard. Click Finish.

2.Enter the location and name of the CSV file in the provided dialogue and press the Create button. Please reference CSV Column Reference Guide for additional information.

3.In order to upload/copy content using the CSV you just created, you need to select a Library or Folder from within the Navigator Pane and right-click. Select "Use CSV to..." and then select Upload/Copy Content from the right-click menu.

4.In the Upload or Copy files using CSV wizard, identify the destination of the CSV file created in step 2.  

5.Select the Source SharePoint Sites from the list that your CSV provided. You may check individual items or the Check All button at the bottom to select everything. Click Check Connection to check the connection to the source sites.

6.Specify any options you wish to include as part of your migration. Click Finish.

Copy of items using CSV is available in the following suites:

·Architect Suite

·Migration Suite

·Office 365 Bundle

Copying items via CSV is also available in the following standalone products:

·Migrator for SharePoint

·Change Manager

Copy Alerts

The Alerts Collector must be installed and running on your source SharePoint server.  The software will extract all alerts from the selected Web Applications or Site Collections into a CSV file.    

Collecting Alerts

1.Download and run the Alerts Collector Application.  It may take a few minutes to retrieve your farm structure.

2.A window will appear requesting to specify a CSV file name and destination.  

3.Select the Web Applications or Site Collections of the Alerts to be extracted.

4.Once satisfied with your selections, click OK and upon completion a 'Success' window will appear. Select OK and the application will close.  

The CSV file that is generated must be accessible to the migration software.  If your application is installed in a different location, copying the file to that location is advisable.
