Step 4 The tool will open as a spreadsheet with the following tabbed
worksheets, and a Help tab:
—Assets
—Termination Hardware
—Backbone Cables
—Horizontal Links
—Users
Each component's worksheet functions independently of the others. The data
categories are specific to that component, and the Check Data and Import Data
macros work only with the data on the currently open worksheet. This ensures the
accurate, successful transfer of data.
Using the Import Tool to Transfer Data to Cable Management
The procedure for using the Cable Management Spreadsheet Tool is fast
and simple, requiring only three overall steps:
• Adding data to the Import Tool
• Checking the data against the existing database contents
• Importing the data
Adding data to the Import Tool
Step 1 After opening the Spreadsheet Tool spreadsheet, click the worksheet tab
for the type of data you want to import (Assets, Termination Hardware,
Backbone Cables, Horizontal Links, or Users).
Step 2 Use Excel's import function to add data from other files, or copy-and-
paste data from other Excel spreadsheets, or directly key data into the
tool's worksheet. (Note that all required fields are marked with an *
asterisk.)

Recommendations: Before adding your data to the Import Tool, it's a
good idea to sort the original file to match the order of the data in the
Import Tool's spreadsheets. It's also a good practice to make sure that
the data to be imported adheres to the Cable Management fields'
requirements for length and data format.
