How can I bulk import configurations of 40 new devices to NCM ?

Hey,
We have hundreds of Cisco devices in NPM,

I need to add 40 new devices under NPM. I also want their configurations to be collected as part of the weekly configuration fetch job.

Is there a template that will allow me to create 40 new devices in NPM.

If I mark each device with a region, then each device would be automatically entered into the weekly config fetch job.

Where can I find such a template ?

Simplest way is just to run a discovery with all 40 devices addresses, also need to give it their snmp and cli info.  Once the discovery completes they will all be added to NPM and automatically to NCM as well (unless you changed the option in your NCM settings to not add newly discovered nodes to ncm) then you would go to the manage custom properties page to set their regions.
