Bulk Importing Services

Discovery's Bulk Import option enables the rapid creation of multiple Services, provided all necessary vendor data is organized into an Import template file*. All Import template files are included in a single downloadable file available for download on the Bulk Imports page under Settings.

Import Template Fields

The provided Import template file (Services.csv) needs to retain all fields (columns), in no particular order, even if the fields are not required.

All Service types have their own column requirements based on the type of Service. This is determined by what value you provide in the type column. If the Service type you provide is not within our list of Service types (Commercial, Rolloff, Rental, Device, or Doorstep), your Service will not be added. For each type of Service, the following sections designate what fields need a value and the type of data needed in these fields.

All other fields are used for other Service Types and can be ignored.

Most Import template files can leverage an external reference ID. This allows you to utilize existing reference labels from your current database or system for all entities in Discovery (vendors, locations, clients, etc.). Moreover, external reference ID's can be substituted for required "_id" fields in Discovery's Import templates allowing for faster importation of data. To learn more about how external reference ID's are used, please see the External Reference ID's article.

Once all Service records have been added, upload the Import template file using the New button on the Bulk Imports page under Settings. For more on how to do this, please visit the Bulk Imports Overview help document.

*Import file name and its column headers cannot be edited.

**When any ID field is required (_id), this indicates an ID that is generated and assigned by Discovery to a unique entity. You'll need to retrieve these ID's from Discovery or reference External Reference ID's. The general method to retrieve ID's in bulk is through a Custom Report. Please see the Export ID's with Custom Reports article covering how to generate a Custom Report to retrieve specific entity ID's. Alternatively, you may substitute ID's with any External Reference ID you've set up for any specific entity entry. Please visit External Reference IDs to learn more about this process.
