Categories and Elements CSV File Requirements
The categories and elements CSV file defines the categories, their 
associated elements, their type, and whether they apply to devices, 
nodes or both. 
•
All CATEGORY and CATEGORYELEMENT records are related. A 
CATEGORY record must have one or more CATEGORYELEMENT 
records. 
•
CATEGORYELEMENT records can be present without a 
corresponding CATEGORY record if that CATEGORY already exists 
in CC-SG. For example, if you are adding more elements to an 
existing category, then you do not have to include a row to redefine 
the category that the new elements belong to. 
•
Export a file from CC-SG to view the Comments, which include all 
tags and parameters needed to create a valid CSV file. See 
Export
Categories and Elements
(on page 26).
•
Follow the additional requirements for all CSV files. See
Common
CSV File Requirements
