Permissions and Features Required for Importing Jobs

-
Primary Column

Usage Notes
You can import job records from third-party systems using the processes detailed in Import a file.
In the QuickStart UI, under Administration, go to Tools > Bring your data to QuickStart.
You can use the file import function for job records to create new job records or update existing job records.
In QuickStart, you can use external IDs to import new job records. External IDs are assigned to each record in the external ID field and are a unique combination of numbers and letters.
You can use both external IDs and internal IDs to update existing job records. Internal IDs are automatically assigned to records.
The file import for the job record will fail if validation for the following fields isn’t met:
- Job Title: this value must be unique and not already used by someone else in QuickStart.
Note:
If you import other records in the same file that have met the validations, they will be imported successfully. You can see the status and details for each record in the import result file.
Example of Import File
The following table is an example of the NsxJob_ADD.csv file using external IDs.
Note:
The Primary Column in the following table is only required if you are importing sublists with the job record.
