StepDescriptionExample
1.From the MetaField Project Setup Search screen, select Upload Projects.
2.

An Upload dialog box will open.
Click Upload to search for the file containing the clients you would like to upload.

Tip
titleProject Upload File Structure

Keep the following items in mind when creating your client file:

  • Only csv file format is supported for upload into MetaField
  • File must contain the following fields, separated by a comma: Project Number, Project Name, Address, City, State, Project Manager ("LastName, FirstName" format with comma and quotes), Client, Client Address, Owner, Owner Address, External Id (note that External Id is optional and may be omitted - this is only needed for customers using MetaField in a hybrid model and if used must be unique), Project Address2, Project Address 3
  • If a comma is needed for one of these fields (e.g., Client Name is ABC Company, Inc), you need to enclose the entire field in quotes ("ABC Company, Inc")
  • Your file should NOT contain column headers 


Warning

If you are creating your CSV file by opening/editing in Excel and saving in csv format, wrapping text that contains commas in quotes is not needed. 



3.

Once the file name displays in the Upload dialog box, select Ok.

Tip
titleDuplicate Project Records

While uploading project records, MetaField will not upload Projects that may be duplicate records. During this process, it looks for records that match the project code. If duplicate records are found, you will be prompted and can view the duplicate records at the end of the upload process.
