Prerequisites for bulk importing or updating emergency locations
How to import locations using a CSV file
You can add several locations at once by uploading a CSV file.
- Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
- In the navigation menu, click Phone System Management then Company Info.
- Click Account Settings.
- Click the Emergency Services tab.
- Scroll down to the Locations section.
- Under Locations, click Manage.
- Follow one of these options depending on if you have multiple sites:
- If you don't have multiple sites: Select the one site you see in the left-side panel.
- If you have multiple sites: Select a site in the left-side panel to import locations to.
- Click Import.
- Click CSV Sample to download a sample file and view on-screen instructions for each field.
- Open the CSV sample file using spreadsheet software and fill in these fields.
Note:
-
Parent Location Unique Identifier: The unique identifier of the parent location. Only specify this field if you are importing a sub-location. Leave it blank if you're importing a parent location. You can obtain this by exporting a CSV file of current addresses.
-
Location Unique Identifier (Required): Specify a unique identifier for the location. Make sure the ID is unique. You can specify a sequence of numbers as the IDs.
- Company Address: Fill the fields to specify an emergency address for this location. You can use a previously-created emergency address (enter it exactly), or specify a new one. Zoom will attempt to validate new addresses, which can cause the location import to fail if the address cannot be successfully validated.
- Go back to the Zoom web portal, click Upload CSV, then select your completed CSV file.
