                            4. Match your columns to the required and optional columns available and choose to ignore the others. If you use the same column names, then the next time that you upload, you will not have to do this again.

                            2. Click ‘Download Current Customers’ to download an excel spreadsheet of existing customer data and begin updating the data according to the following:
                              •  Please note the columns that say Do Not Edit as making changes to these could compromise the data. If sorting, be careful to sort all columns together.
                              • Add new customers by adding a line with the name and location. If there are multiple addresses add those on a separate line without the name below that new customer.
                              • Add a new location for an existing customer by adding a line below the existing locations. Locations cannot be deleted/archived from a bulk upload. We recommend only adding locations rather than changing it on an existing line. you can archive a location from the portal.
                              • Save your excel sheet.
                            3. Click the black ‘Bulk Customer Upload’ button at the top right corner.

                            Customer Address and Duplicate Processing

                            You may see the following, which is to ensure the system can use the data.

                            1. Unmappable Addresses - Use this address verification process to find a mappable address, or choose to enter coordinates for unmappable addresses.
                              • Click the ‘Verify’ button to look for verified address options after making changes.
                              • The ‘Use Suggestion’ button will become available when a verified address is available. Hover over the red highlighted fields to see the suggestion.
                              • If there are many addresses to verify, you can verify each or use the ‘Apply All Suggestions’ button to verify all of them at once.
                            2. Duplicate Matching - Find duplicate addresses or names and determine if they are the same or different customers. You will be given the options to:
                              • Merge
                                • If addresses match but the name does not match, this will change the name of  your customer.
                                • If the name matches, but the address does not match, this will add the address to the customer.
                              • If you click ‘Discard’ then no data will be added to the system from this line.
                              • ‘Add New’ will create a new customer with that name and address. This option is recommended if two customers (with different names) are at the same address. This scenario will create a visit for both customers each time you go to that address.
