The second method to add new infrastructure components, like Gateways, is by CSV file import. This can be done either via Infrastructure “Add” under “Import by CSV” or via “Mass Actions”. This is useful if for example several Gateways are to be imported.
The sample file is downloaded for this purpose. The information on the respective Gateway is entered in the fields provided for this purpose. The sample file is then uploaded using the “Import by CSV” button.
