Import and export data

About imports

You can import the following types of data from a file using a template:

  • Locations
  • Companies
  • Clients
  • Assets
  • Purchase Orders
  • Tickets
  • FAQs
  • Parts
  • Inventory

You can also use a discovery tool to locate and import asset data. See Discover assets for information on how to set up connections with a discovery tool.

The data import options let you import data in bulk, rather than manually adding individual items. Web Help Desk provides templates in three formats: Excel spreadsheets, tab-separated variable (TSV) files, and comma-separated variable (CSV) files.
