Canix Standalone customers will be happy to learn we have released improvements to our Locations Bulk Data Uploader to support several issues reported by customers using this feature.
Issues we've resolved:
- Sub-locations aren’t clear and easy to upload/maintain
- Locations currently go more than 2 levels deep - the uploader and product did not operate the same
- Currently can only upload parent and 1 child (using the bulk uploader)
- To assign a parent location, the parent location had to exist first, this forced customers to either have to use the UI or execute additional location bulk data uploads (first for the parent locations, and then for the child locations)
Now, using the Locations Bulk Data Uploader, you an use an upload template that contains both Parent Locations and Child Locations (in any order).
You can also create up to twenty (20) child location -> grand child location -> great-grandchild locations, etc... up to twenty sub-loations deep from the root location) to provide maximum flexibility.
We've also added an improvement to how we handle errors, rather than serialized (one-at-a-time), we now parse the full upload file you provide, and if there are errors present we present them to you as a complete set of issues to resolve within your location bulk data upload template file (this should save you time and prevent frustration by having errors in a file presented one-at-a-time).
