Tip

When updating bulk records via the Import feature, Users typically start the process by exporting the applicable records from IMMSInfraLink. See the Exporting Data for Update section for more information.

...

Whether you are creating new Asset Models or updating existing Asset Models in IMMSInfraLink, you will follow these steps for importing the bulk data.

...

If there are any errors in the Import data file, IMMS InfraLink will alert you of these exceptions and reject the entire Import. That is, IMMS InfraLink will not partially process an Import.

All exceptions must be corrected in the data file before it can be imported. Correct exceptions in all specified line items and then repeat the Import steps listed above.

If IMMS InfraLink identifies no exceptions within the data file, your bulk data will be successfully imported, and IMMS InfraLink will return you to the view where you initiated your Import. The view should then include your new or updated records. The Import will also be listed in the Successfully Completed Imports list accessible via the "Show Completed" option under the Import button drop-down menu.
