Preparing your data files for import into EZYiD

Whether you are new customer migrating your asset register or updating newly purchased assets, importing helps you create multiple records in the most efficient manner. An Import file is a spreadsheet of data records used to organise and define your assets, its location and compliance information. Before you start your import, review the relevant EZYiD terms and requirements for your import file. NOTE: Importing of more than 500 records will be batch processed in the background. This is primarily to reduce the load on the database. You will not see all your imported records appear in the asset table. You will need to allow some time for the background import to complete. Key Terms Record: is a row in your spreadsheet representing a physical object by its category name, unique identity being its serial no, customID or the EZYiD EPC hexadecimal code attached to the object. Unique Identifier: is the key used to recognise or differentiate each record in your database. You must have a unique value in either the serial no, custom ID or EZYiD cells. Site: the physical location of the object saved in the record. It is mandatory for all records. Frequency: is the frequency of safety inspections or maintenance tasks mandated by your industry regulation or business policy. Last Inspection Date: is the date when an inspection was completed Your Columns: are the columns heading defined in your import spreadsheet. EZYiD default Columns: are the predefined asset table properties that can store your record data. Mapped Columns: represents the association between your data columns of your spreadsheet and the EZYiD database columns. The spreadsheet below displays the minimum criteria to create an asset record in the EZYiD database. And the mapping of the above spreadsheet is setout below: Refer to the sample import spreadsheet for a more detailed explanation of each column and its properties. Import Requirements File requirements

• All EZYiD data must be unique across the global database
• A short date format for any date cells.
• Last Inspection dates must not be in the future

Inspection Frequency Properties Your inspection frequency value for each record must use the following labels
