Importing models and templates in JSON format
Import equipment models and inventory templates together in a single operation using JSON format in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application.
In scenarios where models and templates are exported from external network management systems, JSON is a more natural and efficient format. The import models and templates in JSON format feature lets you bring both models and templates together in a single import operation using a JSON file. The JSON import supports Equipment Model, Equipment Holder Model, Card Model,Connection, cable, Topology, Facility template, and Interface Model. Images aren't supported.
A dedicated inventory template is generated for every rack/cabinet equipment holder, equipment model, and card model, with related templates generated based on defined model relationships. To learn how to importing models and templates in JSON format see Import models and templates in JSON format
