Upload a Bulk Spreadsheet

Once you have generated a template and entered the required device information, you must upload it to OCSDM.

  1. Expand the Device Manager slider and select Bulk device deployment.
  2. In the OC Spreadsheet tab, click Upload.
    The Upload OC bind variable spreadsheet dialog box appears.
  3. In the dialog box enter a new name for the spreadsheet, browse to the location of the file, and click Upload.
    Upon clicking Upload, the OCSDM checks the following conditions to ensure the file is valid:
    • The file is in csv format with .csv as a file extension.
    • The first row of the file is formatted properly. See "Generate a Template" for more information.
    • The file is associated with and properly matches an existing OCSDM offline config.
    • The spreadsheet does not contain any blank rows.
    • The spreadsheet contains details for no more than 20 devices.
    • The values corresponding to each header comply with the expected format.

If any of the validations fail, the upload fails displaying an error and the details are added to the log file.

Once a spreadsheet is validated successfully, you are returned to the OC Spreadsheet page with the new spreadsheet appearing in the table.
