Bouquet Import Rules¶

Importing allows the creation of a new bouquet or the merging of additional services to an existing bouquet:

Use “new” checkboxes to import comma delimited (*.csv) file format to create a new bouquet
An attempt to create a new bouquet with the same name as one that exists will be rejected with a warning shown to the right:
Select bouquet (but not the new checkbox)
- Update the select bouquet with new services imported
- Service not present in the “global services list” will be added to it
Service present in the imported file and selected bouquet but mapped to a different channel number will get updated in the bouquet (from the imported number).
Imported channel number already used in the selected bouquet by a different service will not update the bouquet but will update the “global services list”. The RPM will report the bouquet as a partially successful import.

The different possible modes for the “Import bouquet” dialog-box are shown in the table below:

Bouquet Import Operation
Press the <Browse> button to look for a *.csv file to import
Modes of operation depending on the state of the “New” checkbox:
New (Checkbox)	Bouquet (Name-field)
Checked	Import file as a new bouquet and type its name
Not checked	Select bouquet (from a dropdown list)

Import bouquet when “New” box is checked¶

If an imported bouquet exists , then services from both sources will be merged
- Services not existing in a bouquet will be added to it
- Existing services dial numbers will be updated
- Services missing in the imported file but defined in the Bouquet will remain in the bouquet
If an imported bouquet does not exist, then it will get created in the Observer
