2.4. Importing Configuration

The Remote Config application allows you to import configuration from CSV files. Each of the Remote Config interfaces for OPC DA, OPC UA, Bridging, MQTT Client, Modbus, and Historian has an Import CSV button in its client configuration window that allows you to import configuration from CSV files in bulk. Each of these is found in a different place within the Remote Config interface.

[Note]

The import feature is only available in the Remote Config application, not in the DataHub Properties window.
