Importing locking devices - AXM Plus

The import function allows the simultaneous creation of multiple locking devices/doors. 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 Plus. A new locking device (and a new door) are created with each new line, and the fields are populated with the contents of their assigned columns.

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

There is a similar function for identification media and persons: Import identification media
