For large building projects, we recommend using our Bulk Device Upload, making it easier to get all of your devices added to the Kaiterra Web App Dashboard
Note: the building must already exist on your Kaiterra Web App Dashboard.
That said: devices from multiple buildings can be added from the same CSV upload!
Here are the steps for using our Bulk Device Upload:
- Click here to download our CSV template
- Fill in the appropriate information for each device
- building_code
A simple abbreviation/short form code to represent the building
ie. 30 Rock might be 30R; a school might be USD123; could also be a region/state - floor_code
Floor Number
ie. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. - space_code
Room Number -- or the designation on the floor plan
ie. 123, 201, 404, etc. - space_name
Specific name assigned to the room on the floor plan
ie. Nintendo, Gryffindor, Frodo, Shakespeare, etc. - space_type
What type of room is the device installed in
ie. Kitchen, Conference Room, Open Workspace, etc. - space_ext_id [Optional]
If you have a Serraview ID mapping to this space
ie. serraview:123456 - device_name
[The following is a Best Practice and not a strict requirement]
You can use an Excel or Google Sheets formula to piece this together:
BuildingCode-FloorCode-SpaceName-SpaceType
ie. 30R-2-Nintendo-ConferenceRoom - device_udid
Kaiterra UDID -- if you do not have it, we can use the Serial Number to find it for you
ie. 0000-474f-4f39-b549-2ef13a45e97c - device_serial
Kaiterra Serial Number -- available on the box or on the device itself
ie. VG20D99999
- building_code
- Navigate to either "Manage --> Buildings and Spaces" or "Manage --> Devices", click on "Add --> Upload CSV" in the top-right-hand corner, and follow the on-screen instructions
You can also use this CSV upload to make changes to existing devices by applying the changes in the CSV and then re-uploading the file.
