Asset Type and Tags

In the .json file, you have the option to specify an asset type and tags for each asset to be added.

The asset type and tags must already be created in the project. The asset type and tags cannot be created via Bulk Import. If asset types and tags specified in the .json file do not exist, an error will occur during import. The import will be aborted.

Find Project ID

You must specify the project ID in the .json file. Proceed as follows to find the project ID.

  1. In the URL bar, you will find a number at the end of the URL. This is the project ID

Example: The project URL is https://yoursystem.eliona.io/engineering/projects/1337 The project ID is 1337
