Importing Data
The Metrix Asset Management system was designed with data interoperability at the forefront. This means there is a big focus on making it easy to get your asset data out, as well as getting new and updated asset data into the system. This section covers the various methods available to bring external data into the system, including:
-
Importing new assets and components,
-
Updating existing data, and
-
Importing financial ledger transactions
IMPORTANT
When importing data into your environment (for either creating new asset components or updating them), it is important to remember that each row of your import CSV relates to one (1) component record.
This is of particular importance when importing assets containing multi component records assigned to it (e.g. a road segment with earthworks, base, and surface components). In these cases, each row still relates to one (1) component and the asset information on each row is be simply repeated over and over for each component that relates to this asset.
