Importing AP onto Prime maps based on predictive survey

Is it posssible to place AP's onto Prime maps, based on either a mapping table, or by using the "Planning mode" positioning (assuming you use the same AP names from planning through to implementation).  The planning map has the relative placement on the same map; but it's tedious to place large numbers of AP's onto the map manually, once they are discovered by the controller.

 

What I'd ideally like to see is to have the name MyOfficeFloor1Ap1 from planning, be located on the map when MyOfficeFloor1Ap1 is actually discovered on the controller.  Or an import function within planning mode (or on the map!) that will take a table of the form

Planning    Actual

AP1           MyOfficeFloor1Ap1

AP2            MyOfficeFloor1Ap1......

 

Which would take the planning-mode AP positions and actual names, put them on the map according to the positioning from planning mode.

 

This may even be there now...  but doesn't seem to be well documented anywhere.

In short, no.

 

You can use Prme to do 3/4s of the job via the Automatic Hierarchy Creation feature that will allocate APs to a floorplan based on their hostname, but even with this you still have to position them within the floor yourself.
