Updating Device Type Using Export/Import

When using SiteOwl's Export / Import feature to update Devices to a new Device Type, you'll want to reference this list to ensure you are using the correct Device Type name (i.e. Fisheye Camera). Anything other than the exact name will cause an error when attempting to import. 
Steps to change the Device Type of cameras:

1. View the Project Card or Live Site Card where you wish to make changes.
2. On the Card, click the Devices count link. This will navigate you to a filtered list of Devices for that Project or Live Site.
3. Download the Device list by clicking the Export button.
4. Open the CSV file.
5. For each Device that needs a new Device Type, enter the name of the new Device Type based on the options available in the attached document.
6. Save your changes.
7. In SiteOwl, click the Import button and select the edited CSV file. You should receive no errors or warnings.
8. Complete the import process, or, correct any reported errors and try the import again.
9. The Device list will refresh and the new Device Type for the changed Devices will be displayed.
