You can use the address book feature in Evidence Manager to change the properties of multiple devices in a bulk operation. The address book is a database of all the devices that are added in Evidence Manager. It also contains details such as device IP, username, password, port, and so on. The address book can be exported as a CSV file, which can in turn be used to populate another instance of Evidence Manager with a device list.
The following workflow explains how the Import/Export feature is used to change the properties of devices in a bulk operation:
- Export the address book as a CSV file containing details such as mobile software version, device type, camera name, and so on.
- Modify the properties of devices, wherever needed, and save the file.
- Import this CSV file in to Evidence Manager. This changes the properties of the devices.
