On the assumption that you are seeking to upload data into Flexera One ITAM records (such as asset or inventory device records), this would typically be achieved by configuring a business adapter that reads data from your spreadsheet, and maps relevant columns to different properties in the Flexera One ITAM data model.

@Agustin830 - Chris is correct.  There is no "template" for performing this type of import, you will need to build out a Business Adapter.  Based on your original question, there may be additional work to perform before this information can be imported:

1) If you are assigning the "Environment" to an Inventory Device, then the value that you provide to Flexera One ITAM must be an exact match to the Device Role values that you see in ITAM.  For example, if your source file has "Dev" as the environment value you must transform this to the value of "Development"

2) The fields "Managed By" and "Owned By" do not exist in ITAM on either an Inventory Device or a Hardware  Asset.  You will likely need to have these set up as a Custom Field if you wish to track and report on these values within ITAM.
