You can delete the 3D file in folder and the relevant information of the button in the excel and keep the upload template.

About the Template Form

There are three sheets in the form, including field template, data glossary, and valid values.

1. About Sheet 1 (Basic Field Template)

This is a template sheet with basic field information. Fill in asset data from third row, which provides an example of how you can fill in the data.

Note: The first row is about the field names which are dynamically taken from those configured in basic data management. The second row shows remarks about the property of fields.

2. About Sheet 2 Data Glossary and Sheet 3 Effective Values

Sheet 2 is used to explain field type, required and filling instructions.

Sheet3 lists the list options of all drop-down list fields. You can delete these two sheets when uploading.

3. Instructions for filling in the form in Sheet 1

1.Red characters indicate required items, which must be filled in before uploading

2.In the new template, you can see second row as simple remarks. Please use the new version template. If you are using old template and fill in data from second row, then the second row data upload may fail without system prompt. Data in last two sheets will not be read.

3.System time, linked pictures, system employees and Pantone color system cannot be uploaded in batch.
