Cablefolio

Accounts, security, and data

Importing your data

Updated

Bring existing documentation into Cablefolio instead of typing it: devices from a spreadsheet or a scanner's export, a property's rooms, racks, runs, and links from a spreadsheet, cable tester results, and device presets — each previewed before anything is written.

Import devices into a room

  1. Open the room and press Import devices in its Items heading.
  2. Choose the Source the file came from: a spreadsheet, or an export from Fing, Meraki, UniFi, WiFi Explorer, IT Glue, or Hudu. The source sets how the columns are read.
  3. Choose the File. Cablefolio reads it in your browser and shows how each column maps to a device's fields.
  4. Check the mapping and the preview, correct any row's type, and press the import button.

Up to 500 devices go in at a time, each created exactly as if it had been added by hand, with the import recorded in the room's history.

Seed a property from a spreadsheet

A property's import adds its rooms, racks, cable runs, or links in one pass. Each row is matched the way the matching form would read it: a room, rack, or device by its name within the property, a cable type by its label, a number as a number. A row that cannot be read is skipped with its reason, and the rest go on; nothing partial is reported as a success. Preview the file first to see every row's outcome before anything is written.

Import cable tester results

On a property, paste or choose the CSV export of Fluke LinkWare PC, LinkWare Live, or NetAlly Link-Live. Cablefolio matches each test to a cable run by its cable ID or label, shows which rows match and which do not, and records the matching readings on their runs with the tester's own date and time. Tell it whether the file's dates are written month first or day first when the numbers alone cannot settle it. See Cable runs and testing.

Move presets between teams

Device presets — a model's type, make, height, details, and drawn faces — download as a file and import into another account from Settings › Presets, up to 200 at a time.

Take everything out

An owner or admin can download a full export of the documentation as JSON at any time, and every table downloads as CSV or Excel. Your data is never locked in.
