- The file you create for upload must be in a CSV file format (in Excel save as ‘CSV’)If using Excel to create the CSV file, ensure that the vehicle list is the first worksheet (Sheet 1)
- Your vehicle list must have the following columns:
- Name
- Updated Name
- Type
- Group
- Tags
- The sample file contains a top (header) row in the CSV. You should not remove this row. Place your first vehicle in the row below this header row.
- Do not duplicate vehicle names (e.g. Vehicle1 and Vehicle1) in the "Name" row.

- If the vehicle name does not need to be updated, the “Updated Name” can be left blank, or simply be the same as the current name.
- A vehicle type must be specified. This must be an existing type.
- A vehicle group must be specified. This must be an existing group which the user has access rights for.
- Tags are single words separated by a space. These tags will replace any existing tags on the vehicle. If no tags are specified in the file, then any existing tags will be deleted.
Step 2 – Update your vehicle list
- To update the vehicles, select ‘Update’ from the vehicles page.
- Click ‘Browse’ on the vehicle update page
