Edit Tags Icon Button Import Tags Icon Button

Once the import pop up appears you can download the CSV tag template which will give you the correct CSV format. The downloaded CSV template will include all of the existing tags with all relevant information. As seen in the downloaded csv example below its formatted with fields Tag Name, Parent Tag, Address, Longitude, Latitude, and Tag ID.

  • The Parent Tag is used to establish levels and a heirarchy. The highest level's parent tag field has no value, and tags with parent tags are sublevels of that tag.
  • The Address field can also be used to set a desired location to a specified tag. The more specific an address is the more accurately the location will be set.
  • Longitude and Latitude values are included with existing tags and used for locations when downloading templates. Users may set longitude/latitude values for locations as well instead of using Address.
  • The existing tags will have Tag ID included with template downloads. These values should not be modified.

Tag Template Button Tag Template Example

To upload CSV files click on Upload Tags; template should be in the format shown above. When uploading tags you may:

  • Override Tags
  • Modify Tags
  • Add Tags

By default the system does not override tags unless selected to do so. When tags are overriden, it just means that any existing tags not in the template will be deleted, any tags in the template currently not present in the system will be added, and any tags in the template that exist in the system will be updated.

Override Tags

If tags exist and data is different the existing tag will be modified or if tag in template does not exist it will be added regardless of override selection or not.

After tags are uploaded, a preview will display with all importable tags. A map will also appear to display locations associated with tags if provided. Users may also modify their tags for any reason such as changing tag names and even modify tag locations. Locations that were set by the Address field will have location icon and display full address under tag name.

Edit Preview Tags

Tags can also be deleted from the import selection in the preview page, and new tags can also be added. Click save to import tags.
