# Device Setup Assistant

Upload the mapping file that pre-fills device names, tags, and custom fields during an on-site installation.

This section configures the **mapping file** used by the [Device Setup Assistant](/device-setup-assistant/device-setup-assistant.md) when devices in this workspace are set up on site.

Without a mapping file, an installer types every value by hand at the device. With one, they select or scan the device, choose a single value, and the remaining device name, [tags](/device-management/managing-a-workspace/tags.md), and [custom fields](/device-management/managing-a-workspace/custom-fields.md) are filled in from the file. On a large rollout that is the difference between a considered installation and a long afternoon of typing.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Device Setup Assistant is available on **Expert plans**. See [akenza.io/pricing](https://akenza.io/pricing) for what each tier includes.
{% endhint %}

## Uploading a mapping file

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Prepare the CSV

Build a CSV whose columns match the tags and custom fields defined in this workspace, and decide which custom field acts as the **primary field**, the one an installer picks from on site. The field name rules and a downloadable template are on the [Device Setup Assistant overview](/device-setup-assistant/device-setup-assistant.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Upload it

Open **Device Setup Assistant** on the [General settings](/device-management/managing-a-workspace/general-settings.md) page and select *Upload file*. The section shows *No file uploaded* until a file is in place.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save

Select *Save settings*. The file now applies to installations in this workspace.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
The custom fields and tags named in the CSV must already exist in the workspace, spelled exactly as they are in the file. Values for names that do not exist are not applied.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.akenza.io/device-management/managing-a-workspace/general-settings/device-setup-assistant.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
