Bulk Upload Templates

You can download predefined Microsoft Excel templates to bulk upload in Axon. You can also use custom Microsoft Excel templates to upload data to Axon. Informatica recommends that you use the templates that Axon provides.
You can use a comma-separated-value (CSV) file format to bulk upload data to Axon. You can use a CSV file that you created to upload data to Axon. If you want to use the Axon template, you need to download and save the Microsoft Excel template in the CSV format.
Each facet has some default configuration values, such as lifecycle, classification types, and relationship types, that are predefined in the template. You can configure these values from the Admin panel. If your current Axon instance was upgraded from a previous version, you might see more values in the drop-down configuration list from the previous version. If you perform a fresh install, you can see the latest, shorter list of drop-down configuration values.
Use the bulk upload template when you need to perform the following tasks:

Template Types

You can bulk upload the Object, Relationship, and Role template types to Axon. The Object templates include the following categories:
After you download a template, you can view that the worksheet name is provided for the template for ease of use and reference. The worksheet name format for the template that you want to bulk upload is Create <Template Name>. For example, if you want to upload the System X Client template, the worksheet name is Create System X Client. The worksheet name format for the template that you want to bulk update is Update <Template Name>. For example, if you want to update the Glossary object, the worksheet name is Update Glossary.
If you have created segments in Axon, you can view the Segment column in most of the downloaded Object templates. You cannot view the Segment column for the following object templates:
In the Object and Roles templates, you can see the following optional columns for the user details: User Email, User First Name, User Last Name, and User LAN ID. When you bulk upload objects and roles, you must enter at least one of the user details so that it becomes easier to identify an object and role. You can enter an email address, LAN ID, or a combination of first and last name.
Most of the templates contain the reference identifier column that is optional. If you leave the column empty and map the empty column during the bulk upload process, the operation fails because the Reference column cannot have null values. If you want to map the Reference column, ensure that you enter a value in the template.
