You can import and export your ad spaces, including screen and location data, as a CSV file. This is especially useful if you manage large or complex screen networks:
Data export: Perform bulk updates externally and import the updated file back into the system.
Built-in validation: The system ensures data integrity during import, detecting formatting errors and preventing invalid updates before they affect your setup.

Troubleshooting: Validation errors
To ensure data integrity, built-in validation checks your CSV file during import. If an error is detected, you must correct the file and try importing again.
If automatic validation indicates an error, you can check the following:
Required columns: Ensure that your CSV file contains the columns: Active, Playername, and Location. All columns must be present in the file for the values to be transferred to IXM One.
Filled values: Each field under a column must be filled, meaning it must contain a value that IXM One can process.
Valid values: The values in the fields must match their columns. For example, the Active column can only contain the value 1 (active) or 0 (inactive).
Matching data: The information in the CSV file must match the information in IXM One. For example, the player's name and location must be identical in both places.
