Import from Source

Importing large numbers of resources can take a considerable amount of time. For imports of thousands of resources use the auto-update feature to avoid time-outs and other problems.

Any number of contacts can be imported though computers are licensed. You can only import as many computers or assets as you have Helpdesk Solution licenses. The software will not allow you to go over your license limit.

•NS Source: export both contacts and computers.

4Click All or By name to search for resource.
