In addition to defining the DMPs, you can use the Bulk Administration Tool to
associate the DMP with a particular location or TV. This is referred to as linking or
creating a DMP-to-location mapping.

Requirements and Recommendations
•
You must be logged in as an Administrator to use the Bulk Administration Tool.
•
Before using the tool, it is recommended that you determine the TV locations
and a naming convention. This will aid in problem isolation and troubleshooting –
enabling you to more easily identify a TV or DMP that is experiencing difficulty.

How It Works
The Bulk Administration Tool for StadiumVision provides an alternative to manually
adding, updating or deleting device information in the StadiumVision Director
database. Device information can include DMPs, IP Phones, and third-party touch
screens used for local TV control.

The Bulk Administration Tool uses a comma separated value (CSV) file as the
mechanism for importing and exporting data. This file can be edited using a
standard spreadsheet application, such as Microsoft Excel. The format of the CSV
file is described in the “Bulk Administration Tool CSV File Format” section.

Before the data is imported, the Bulk Administration Tool gets the current
configuration from StadiumVision Director (which may be null, if this is the first time
you are using the tool), merges the two sets of information, and checks for errors. If
no errors are found, the Bulk Administration Tool synchronizes the database . If
errors are found, the Bulk Administration Tool returns an error message, as
described in the “Possible Error Messages” section.

In previous versions of StadiumVision Director, you used a series of Java
commands to control the Bulk Administration Tool. Starting with StadiumVision
Director version 2.3, the tool has been integrated into the SV Director UI.
