Update application blacklist (mass import)

Portal User asked a question.

Hello Snow Community,

In our company we would like to add all outdated applications to the blacklist. As you can imagine, there are a lot of criteria to be added manually referencing the name of the affected software.

Maybe anyone of you has a good solution how to do that? Something like a mass import to update the blacklist?

Thanks!

Eugen

Hi Eugen, unfortunately no it is not possible to import blacklist criteria. I would look at using a user defined field to flag products no longer supported/ blacklisted. kind regards, Jelle

I have also had this as a request for both Whitelist and blacklist, not only to do a mass add/import, but also mass removal.

A colleague requested this at the start of 2017...We also requested the same for whitelist. Hopefully the more people requesting will push it forward.

Hi Eugen, Unfortunately you can only load one app at a time through the front end (painfully slow...) and you can't import a list any other way. There are a couple of threads already on this issue/feature request so you'll need to sit tight unfortunately and I do have a bulk import 'feature' available to me as we can insert the data into a SQL table and then there is a custom snow stored proc that is run to import the data. You would need to contact snow to get this unfortunately and you will need access to the db (depends on if your hosted or not)
