Next to the device list, you will see options for bulk actions, like activating or deactivating your M2M devices, or editing device settings in batches. These actions can be initiated by selecting multiple devices from the list or by uploading a CSV file that contains the necessary device information.

Exporting to CSV

You can easily download the Devices - Data result set by clicking the Download icon just below the Search icon.

This will generate CSV file, containing all devices in the current selection. The CSV file will contain the measurements accompanied with the timestamp of that specific measurement.

Click on the Bulk by CSV file button.

This step opens the process for uploading multiple devices at once via a CSV file. This saves time since you don’t need to add each device individually.

You are asked to upload a CSV file with the device data. Ensure that the structure of the file matches the template exactly, which you can download. Use a comma (,) as the CSV separator.

After uploading the CSV file, it will be validated.

This screen gives you feedback on the validation. All devices with valid data are displayed, and devices with errors won’t be processed. The system checks fields such as IMEI, ICCID, and other required fields.

After validation, choose the target project and flow where the new devices should be added. You can also specify the device details, such as the device type.

Here, you define the project and flow in which the new devices will be processed. You can also choose the type of devices being added, for example, M2M devices or another type.

Click on Add new M2M Devices to start adding the devices.

The system will now begin adding the devices. You can monitor the process by following the progress in the Bulk reports where you can see if all devices were successfully created.
