Prepare asset data before importing

Importing asset data using CSV files

Prepare asset data before importing
Example: Import license data from prepared spreadsheets

You can import asset data, such as software license data, using CSV (comma separated value) files.

Prepare asset data before importing

Verify that asset data is appropriate and formatted properly before importing it.

1.
Define the basic fields for your assets. If you use product names, make sure they are useful and help to identify the asset. See Adding Software assets.
2.
Add header rows to your data. In the Asset Management component, columns without headers are referred to by their column number, so using column header rows can make it easier to identify data.
3.
Verify that all columns map to equivalent Asset Fields in the Asset Type.
Asset Types include default fields, such as Asset Name, Purchase Order Number, and Vendor, but you can add custom asset fields if necessary. See About adding and deleting asset fields.
Tip:
 
TIP: To view default fields go to the Asset Detail page. See Customizing Asset Types.
4.
Decide what field or fields to use for the primary key (PK) for the imported assets.
Primary Keys are the fields, or combinations of fields, used as unique identifiers for assets being imported. When assets are imported, the appliance uses Primary Keys to determine whether to update an existing record or create a record. You can select one field, or a combination of fields, as the PK.
5.
Save the spreadsheet as a CSV file, in a location you can access from the Administrator Console.
Example: Import license data from prepared spreadsheets

You can import license data from prepared CSV files.

This example describes how to import License assets for Software Catalog inventory, either as a one-time import, or a scheduled import using a file from a network share. The example shows only the fields that are required for License asset import. You can add additional files, such as unit cost, publisher, product keys, and so on to meet your information management needs.

If you want to assign the imported assets to an Asset Subtype, add the subtype before you import the assets. See Add Asset Subtypes and select Device Detail page preferences.

1.
Create a file in a spreadsheet program such as Excel.
2.
Add the following columns and rows. The first row is a header column:

Asset Name

License Count

License Mode

Includes Maintenance

Applies to Software Catalog

Software Title 1

Enterprise

Yes

Software Title 2

Software Title 3

200

Enterprise

Yes

Software Title 3

Software Title 4

500

Enterprise

Yes

Software Title 4

3.
Save the file in CSV format.
The values in each column are separated by commas. For example: Software Title 1,100,Enterprise,Yes,Software Title 1
4.
Go to the Upload File page in the Import Assets section:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Asset Management, then click Import Assets.
◦

View License Compliance and Configuration information

You can track the number of software licenses that have been purchased, the number in use on managed devices, and the number that are available. This type of tracking helps you to ensure that your company complies with software license requirements.

For example, if you have 100 licenses for the Adobe® Creative Suite, you might want to know how many of those licenses are actually being used on managed devices. In addition, you might want to know when 80 or 90 percent of those licenses are in use so that you can increase license capacity if necessary. You can customize license usage warning thresholds to track license compliance.

View License Compliance information for Software Catalog applications

View License Compliance information for Software Catalog applications

To ensure that your organization has the correct licenses for installed software, you can view License Compliance information on the License Compliance list and on the License Compliance Dashboard widget. The License Compliance list shows all the software license information you have added through License assets, as well as information from the Software Catalog about applications that require licenses.

•
The Agent-managed devices in your inventory have software applications that are available in the Software Catalog.
•
You have specified the number of seats available to installed Software Catalog applications as License assets, and you have specified the license mode. See Add License assets for Software page inventory.
•
You have established warning thresholds for license usage in the appliance or organization general settings. See Configure Admin-level or organization-specific General Settings.
1.
To view complete license compliance information, go to the License Compliance page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Asset Management, then click License Compliance.
* 
NOTE: Information on the License Compliance list is updated every day after the appliance daily backup is complete. If the list is empty, either there are no applications in the Software Catalog inventory, or the information on the page has not been updated. In addition, if all the variances show negative numbers, which indicates that there are more installations than license seats, verify that you have added License assets for the applications. See Add License assets for Software Catalog inventory.
2.
To force the appliance to update License Compliance information, click Update Now above the list on the left. Depending on the number of applications in inventory, this process might take a few minutes.
Tip:
 
TIP: When you click Update Now, the appliance updates the data for each of the items on the list. However, when you click the Refresh button above the list on the right, the appliance simply redisplays the information already collected. It does not obtain new license usage information.
