Import csv-files

With the import function, you can quickly and easily import various data into the be.ENERGISED instance. The selection for import profiles is limited to Authentication media, production information for RFID cards, SIM cards and customers & contact information. There are five steps to the basic procedure:

create a CSV file with all necessary information
select the correct import profile, separator etc.
start upload
assign fields with the columns from the CSV file
import

In the following, the individual steps for the successful import of files are explained in detail:

Under the menu Settings/Imports/Add new import job you can import csv-files. Please make sure that ALL fields are filled in and that you have selected the correct format (CSV UTF-8 (separated by separators) (*.csv)) when saving your file!

When importing a UTF-8 CSV file, set the Delimiter to ";" please.

How to import authentication media?

Normally, RFID cards are first implemented in the be.ENERGISED instance. When implementing RFID cards, at least the tag ID of each card must be specified. However, it is recommended to additionally enter a card number or card label in order to simplify the search and/or assignment of a specific card afterwards.

When issuing the card to the EV-driver, you can then assign all further customer-specific data to the respective card. Therefore, a Csv file for importing identification media could look like shown below

As soon as you define a csv file and start the data import, further functionalities can be selected:

Operated by: Choice between pre-defined companies
Owner: Choice between pre-defined contacts
