Importing devices

Importing devices from a file is the fastest way to add devices to the QRmaint system. Importing devices will require a detailed filling out of a spreadsheet (specially prepared template).

Step-by-step device import #

      You can use previously downloaded templates. Remember to remove the data of machines already entered into the QRmaint system. All machines entered into the template will be imported to the system. If we do not remove the entered machines from the file, then when we import, we will duplicate the previously entered machines.
