Bulk Processing

You can use the Bulk Processing option to upload customer data and location-based points of interest (POI) into either comma-separated value (CSV) or XML file formats. Depending on your assigned privileges, files are either uploaded for confirmation or processed immediately.

Your assigned privileges also determine the bulk-file formats they are allowed to upload:

Customer registration – contains the equivalent data supported by the Customer Registration option.
Customer deactivation – is supported by listing customer identifications. This is the same file used for registering customers; however, you must provide the actual IDs of the customers being deactivated.
Points of Interest - CSV format – allows you to upload or replace multiple points of interest or addresses for a consumer into a comma-separated values file.
Points of Interest - XML format – allows you to upload or replace multiple points of interest or addresses for a consumer in XML format.

The Confirm File option allows you to search for pending bulk processes to approve or reject. You can approve or reject a pending file by clicking the file name to view the details of the file. Use the History option to search for files that have been approved or rejected. All fields are optional, and if any are blank, you see the full list of pending files. You can also download files for further inspection.

The first row in a comma-separated value (CSV) file lists the field names for the object that you are processing. Each subsequent row corresponds to a record in the database. A record consists of fields that are delimited by commas. A CSV file can contain multiple records and constitutes a batch.
