Importing Custom Property Data
Once you have defined custom properties, the Custom Property Editor Import tool
assists in populating the custom property data. For example, you may already
possess a spreadsheet listing the asset tags of all your network nodes, and you would
like to have this information available for reporting and publication in the web
console. In this scenario, Asset Tag is added as a custom property, and then the
import wizard is used to populate the asset tag values from the spreadsheet. The
following steps outline the process for importing custom properties data. For more
information, see "Creating Custom Properties"
