Data Import/Carrier Site Availability

Overview

The Carrier Location Availability import tool gives users the ability to import addresses and carrier site availability information that will be used in an address-based SQ.

The system utilises the Bulk upload processing notification event to send a notification with the results of the bulk approval attempt. You must set up this event and enable it before you use this tool.

• If the bulk import is successful, the email notification will advise you when the process is complete.
• If the bulk approval is not successful, the email notification will send details of the records that failed to be approved and why.

Preparing Your Data

You will need to create a CSV data file comprising the data to be imported. For a sample of the data file, log into Cumulus and follow the steps below:

Nav: Services > Address

1. Click on the Export Address List - If you have no addresses, this is fine. The export will generate a CSV file with only the headers that you will need.
2. Confirm you want to export all addresses.
3. Nav to Reports > Generated Reports
4. When your Carrier site availability - Export report is complete press the Download button.

Note the greater number of addresses, the longer the system will need to collate them into a report format. Refresh the tab to view the status for that point in time.

Enter the data into the import sheet. Leave no rows blank. You must ensure the data meets all validation requirements contained in the data definition table below. When you submit the data file for import, the system will parse the file looking for errors. If the system finds no errors, the system will import the notes into the system. The file needs to be error-free in order to import the data. In the event errors are found, no data will be imported into Emersion. Review the bulk upload processing notification email, correct the file and try again.

Importing Your Data

To access the Carrier Location Availability import tool:

1. Log into Cumulus.
2. Nav: Admin > Bulk Import > Contact Import
3. Click the Browse button and select the CSV file containing the data you want to import.
4. If you want the bulk upload processing notification email to be sent to a different email address than the address defined in the event template, tick the Override? checkbox and enter an alternative email address. This will only apply for this upload. To change the email address for all future imports, you will need to change the recipient defined in the event template.
5. Press Submit

The system will validate the data and if no errors are found, the system will import the data. When the notification email is received, the process has been completed.

The system can parse for invalid data but it cannot check for data accuracy. Therefore it is strongly recommended that you check a few random records to ensure that the import was a success. If you find an problem, you cannot roll back the import.
