Mass DisplayName update in DCR

wilfred malana

I exported my device list from CM which included DisplayName and IP. I then manually updated the DisplayNames on the CSV file. Can I use this CSV file to update the DisplayNames on DCR? If I import that list will it overwrite or update the DisplayName field or will I end up with duplicate devices?

If all you change is the display name, and you have other fields populated such as IP address and hostname, then the display name will be updated in DCR provided you select the import option, "Use Data from Import Source."

Thanks.

I get invalid format error.

My file format is

So, I tried exporting from DCR to check the right format but I do no see a DisplayName column...

The display name column is called display_name. Be sure that you preserve the header when re-importing the file, or you will get the format error. You also need to make sure the HEADER line field list lines up with the field values in your data set.
