Import a Map

 You can export the device data from a map. Only the users with the Domain Management privilege can import maps into a domain.

• Import a Map — If the included devices already exist in your domain, the device data in your domain will be overwritten with the imported one.

  Note: The customized properties will not be included unless the same attributes are also defined in the Global Data Repository of your tenant.

Import a Map

Follow the instructions below to import maps into the system.

1. Click Files on the folder tree structure.
2. Expand the folder tree, right-click the target folder and select Import Maps from the dropdown.

   Note: You cannot import maps to the Shared with me folder.

3. In the Import Maps dialog, click Select maps from your computer to select the map from the local maps and then click Open.
   
   
4. By default, the Auto-rename duplicated map files option is checked. It will automatically rename a map file if a file with the same name already exists in the current directory. To skip duplicate maps instead of renaming them, uncheck this option.
   

5. Click Import and then click Finish.
   
   
   If you want to rebuild the topology instantly with the imported map data, click Domain Management in the notification box to execute a benchmark task. See Benchmark Task Settings for more details.
   

   Tip: Successfully migrated EE site Maps are not listed in the Files pane.

   Tip: If the map is an EE site Map, the editing rights will be unclaimed; otherwise, the user who imports a Map has their editing rights by default.
