Import Tags from XLSX

Objective: Import manual tag values from an XLSX file into vScope.

Prerequisites

• Role: Contributor/Admin
• File: XLSX with one column that uniquely matches an existing tag in vScope (e.g., Name, Serial, Email).
• Values: These are stored as Manual tag values (no rules/automation).

Here is a quick walkthrough of how it’s done:

Good starting point

Export a table from vScope first, add your tag values in that file, then re-import it. This guarantees matching identifiers. See Exporting a table.

Steps

1. Upload file – Go to Tags → Import from file, pick the XLSX, click Next.
2. Match assets – Choose the Asset type and map an identifier column (e.g., Name, Serial, Email, MAC) to the corresponding vScope tag. This column must uniquely match.
3. Map values – Select the column containing the values you want to import. Choose an existing tag or create a new one (e.g., Location).
4. Preview – Review matches and warnings. If an asset can’t be matched or is duplicated, it won’t import.
5. Confirm – Finish the import. Values are added as Manual. Existing manual values are replaced; discovery-managed tags are untouched.

Verify

• Open a relevant Table or the asset’s Properties panel and spot-check the imported tag.
• If values are missing, re-check the identifier mapping and duplicate warnings in the preview step.

Notes

• Unmatched rows leave existing values unchanged.
• You can delete imported manual values later from Tables or Properties.
