Copying the Excel file and templates to the Supervisor

Before running the bulk provisioning job, this procedure copies the Excel file and templates to the templateCache folder in the Supervisor station.

Prerequisites: The templates to bulk deploy and Excel file exist. You are working in the Supervisor station.

NOTE: This copying procedure is the same for component/device templates (.ntpl) and application templates ( .napl), the only difference being the template file extension.

Perform the following steps:

Navigate to Config > Drivers > NiagaraNetwork and double-click ProvisioningNwExt
The Niagara Network Job Builder view opens.
Click the Copy Templates button at the bottom of the view.
A File Chooser window opens.
Use the multi-select (Shift and Control) to select the set of .xls and .ntpl (or .napl as needed) files to be used for provisioning, and click OK.
The system transfers the selected files from their source (typically inside the user home templates folder) to the Supervisor where it places them in the templateCache folder.
