Import identification media - AXM Classic

The import function can be used to create multiple identification media/persons simultaneously. To do this, you need an import file in CSV or XLSX format. The columns in this file are subsequently assigned to a field in the AXM Classic. A new identification medium (and person) is created with each line, with the fields populated with the contents of the assigned columns.

Ideally, your import file is encoded in Unicode (UTF-8) format.

There is a similar function for doors and locking devices: Importing locking devices
