== Requirements for Importing Data ==

These requirements apply to user groups, user profiles, video terminal profiles, and meetings:
* Import files must use the comma-separated value (CSV) format.
* The first or second line of the import file contains header fields that specify the order in which data appears in all subsequent lines. The header fields can be in any order.
: If the second line contains the header fields, the first line of the import file contains the product version information, which must exactly match the first line of an equivalent export file from the same Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system.
* All subsequent lines of the import file contain the actual data. The data must appear in the order specified in the first line of the import file.
* Each import file must contain the required headers specified in [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- Importing Data into Cisco Unified MeetingPlace#Table: Required Headers in Import Files|Table: Required Headers in Import Files]]. For all optional header fields that are ''not'' included in the import file, the system uses the default value for the import data.

* If you are importing data that was previously exported, the field values must retain any leading zeros (0) that were in the original export file.
** If you lose the leading zeros, you will see import errors. For example, if you try to import user profiles whose group numbers are missing leading zeros, import errors will indicate that the user group cannot be found.
** Note that some spreadsheet applications, such as Microsoft Excel, automatically delete leading 0s from cells that the application formats as numbers. See the documentation for your spreadsheet application to make sure that all fields are treated as text instead of numbers.
* All values in the import file must be valid. Otherwise, the import file might introduce incorrect relationships in the database and cause erratic system behavior. For descriptions of available import fields, see these sections of the [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- Raw Data Export and Import Specifications for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace#Raw Data Export and Import Specifications for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace|Raw Data Export and Import Specifications for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace]] module:

* These notes apply to the import file:
** Any spaces placed at the beginning or end of a value are deleted during the import process unless the value and the leading or ending spaces are enclosed in double quotation marks (" "). Spaces within a value, for example in ''Tech Support'' for a billing code, are imported without being deleted.
** Any commas used in a value must be enclosed in double quotation marks, such as using "Smith, John" for a user ID.
** All text is case insensitive.

=== Preparing the Export File for Import ===

Care should be taken when opening a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace export file using Microsoft Excel, which by default removes any leading zeros (0) in the data and results in import errors.

Use these instructions to preserve leading 0s in the data using Microsoft Excel 2007.

===== Before You Begin =====
* Read the [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- Importing Data into Cisco Unified MeetingPlace#Requirements for Importing Data|Requirements for Importing Data]].

===== Procedure =====

# Select '''Data > From Text'''.
# Open the .CSV export file, which launches the File Import Wizard.
# During Step 3 of the File Import Wizard, you can choose the Data Format for each column. By default, Microsoft Excel uses General formatting, which removes all leading 0s. Make sure you do the following:
## Select the column for numbers.
## Under Column Data Format, select the Text radio button.
## Repeat this procedure for any other columns. When finished make sure to verify data.

=== Setting Up an Import File ===

===== Before You Begin =====
* Read the [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- Importing Data into Cisco Unified MeetingPlace#Preparing the Export File for Import|Preparing the Export File for Import]].
* Create an import file template by exporting a similar file that includes field header names. See one of these sections in the [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- Running Reports and Exporting Data from Cisco Unified MeetingPlace#Running Reports and Exporting Data from Cisco Unified MeetingPlace|Running Reports and Exporting Data from Cisco Unified MeetingPlace]] module:
** [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- Running Reports and Exporting Data from Cisco Unified MeetingPlace#Exporting User Groups|Exporting User Groups]]

** [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- Running Reports and Exporting Data from Cisco Unified MeetingPlace#Exporting Meetings|Exporting Meetings]]

===== Procedure =====

# Use a spreadsheet application, such as Excel, to open a previously exported file.
# In the spreadsheet application, the required headings are listed in the second row, and the data is listed in all subsequent rows. Perform one of these actions:
#* If you are modifying existing entries, delete the rows that you do ''not'' want to modify. Do ''not'' delete the first two rows.
#* If you are adding entirely new entries, delete all rows except the first two rows.
# Enter or modify the information in the appropriate fields.
#:'''Caution! ''' Make sure that all values in the import file are valid. Invalid entries in the import file might introduce incorrect relationships in the database and cause erratic system behavior.
#: If you are unsure about what to enter in any field, we recommend that you delete that entire column (unless it is a required field). For descriptions of each field, see these sections of the [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- Raw Data Export and Import Specifications for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace#Raw Data Export and Import Specifications for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace|Raw Data Export and Import Specifications for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace]] module:

* You cannot edit default video types when importing even if you select the overwrite function; importing does not change the default video types.
* If import overwrite duplicate information is set to No and you try to import a video type with the same ID and name as an existing video type on the system, the system skips this video type and retains the existing information. If, however, the ID is the same but the name is different, the system changes the name.
* If import overwrite duplicate information is set to Yes and you try to import the video type with the same name and ID as an existing video type on the system, the system updates that video type with values from the import file.
* The system supports a maximum of 50 video types.

===== Procedure =====

# Sign in to the Administration Center.
# Select '''Maintenance > Import Data > Import Video Types'''.
# Enter values in the fields.
