Lisa, quite right you are about the DMT not having a spreadsheet for Asset! 
Thanks for pointing that out. I must have been remembering about Incidents and 
Change but when I actually looked at DMT 7.6.4 you can only import asset 
relations, work logs and things like that. Asset (or CI) import is not there!

So Salvo, I'd amend my suggestion to use the Atrium Integrator (AI) tool, which 
you can access on the Atrium Core Console. If you setup your CSV files as data 
sources (one per file) and the CMDB as another, you can use the create new job 
wizard to quickly build an AI job that will get the job done. A couple 
suggestions, you should have only one type of CI/Asset per CSV file, so you can 
map it to the correct CMDB class. Also, you should understand your CSV data 
very well to know what columns you will use for attributes like Name and Short 
Description, how you will set categorization and so forth. You can hard-code 
values (for categorization for example) if the CSV doesn't have a field that 
will work.

I'd also suggest you read the "Data Modeling Guide" PDF for 7.6.4 to know what 
classes are intended for which purpose in the CMDB data model.

Pascale, no worries about the confusion :)

Thanks,
Davin
