Editing multiple devices at once

NetAlertX allows you to mass-edit devices via a CSV export and import feature, or directly in the UI.

UI multi edit

Note

Make sure you have your backups saved and restorable before doing any mass edits. Check Backup strategies.

You can select devices in the Devices view by selecting devices to edit and then clicking the Multi-edit button or via the Maintenance > Multi-Edit section.

As always, backup everything, just in case.

1. In Maintenance > Backup / Restore click the CSV Export button.
2. A devices.csv is generated in the /config folder
3. Edit the devices.csv file however you like.
