Device Import Table
After you select a file, Security Manager evaluates its contents and displays the list of devices defined
in the file in the table in the upper pane of the page. Security Manager automatically selects all devices
whose status is Ready to Import. Typically, these are the devices that do not already exist in the device
inventory.
The table contains the following columns.

or deselect a folder to select or deselect all devices within the folder.

selector.

imported only if they have the status Ready to Import. For detailed
information on a device’s status, select it and read the expanded status
information in the Status text box in the lower right corner of the page.
