Part 2: Selecting Media Owner and Inventory Type

Part 3: Attaching a File

  1. Two tabs control where the file comes from: Existing Files and Upload New.

  2. The Existing Files tab lists files already uploaded earlier in the same session so you can re-use them. If none exist yet, it reads "No previously uploaded files in this session."

  1. The Import button (bottom right) stays disabled until Media Owner, Inventory Type, and a file are all provided. Click Cancel (or the × in the top corner) to close the panel without importing.

  2. Once Import is clicked, the file is processed and a new row appears at the top of the Import History table with a Completed or Failed status — see the companion Import History guide for reviewing those results.
