FMTData offers the ability to mass import vehicles into FMTData to help you save time and resources.
Importing is extremely beneficial when you have to update multiple assets at a time.
Before Importing Your File
Before you import new assets into FMTData, you must make sure you meet the below requirements;
- You import the file in a Comma Separated Value (CSV) format.
- You only import one authorisation type (NFC FOBs, SmartTags, Codes, etc). If you need to import multiple types, separate them into different files.
Importing into FMTData
In this article, we will use Vehicles as an example. However, the procedures shown are identical between Drivers and Plants.
Click on Configure Vehicles.
On the new pop-up window, click Import Vehicles.
Select the file you want to import into the system, and select Import.
If your CSV file contains assets that already exist inside FMTData, ensure that Update existing items is enabled if you wish to update those assets with new details.
On the Import Vehicles page, you'll need to;
- Select what columns FMTData will recognise (Highlighted Red).
- Select the header row, so that it is ignored during Import (Highlighted Blue)
- Select the authorisation type at the bottom of the screen (Highlighted Green)
If you leave a column as Unused, that column will be ignored, and will use the data it had previously (or left blank if it's a brand new asset).
Press the Import button, and FMTData will upload the data into the web portal
If any error messages appear after the import, you may need to check if your CSV file is correctly configured. If you're not too sure what could be happening, reach out to our support team with the CSV file attached.
