In ASSETS -> RESOURCES -> WORKSTATIONS, my goal was to add a new workstation type called “Thin Clients”. I wanted to import all of our thin clients into that type. But instead of creating a “Workstation Type”, it created a “Resource Type” on the left called “Thin Clients”. Here are the steps that I took.

In the screen shot below, you can see that I mapped the first 3 mandatory fields. TYPE contains the value Thin Client for all rows. NAME field just has “Unable to Name”. We added that since we didn’t store the host names inside the CSV file.

As you can see in the screen shot below, it shows that data was successfully imported but it shows only 1 record added and 283 records overwritten. I was worried that I wiped out some data, so I checked all of the Resource Types and saw that all the other data I had entered was fine. I could not find any of the data that I imported when I performed the search. Only 1 record was added into the Resource Type “Thin Clients”.

The screen shot below shows the Resource Type with only 1 record added. Again my intention was to create a new WORKSTATION TYPE….not RESOURCE TYPE. In the search box I tried searching for the name “Unable to Name” since that is what I had under the Name column in the CSV file. No records were found.

The screen shot below shows the Workstation Types and Thin Clients is not listed.
