  • Remove the “header” row(s) on each worksheet.
  • Save each worksheet as its own separate CVS format file.
  • Do not comingle floor related data elements within the same file (i.e., locations for Facility 1 and Floor 1 should be in the same file, and should not include locations for Facility 1 and Floor 2).
  • Each data element (Floor, Aisle Path, etc.) needs to have its own Directory to import. Cannot import Floor data in the same Directory in which Aisle Paths are being imported. These must be configured even if specific data elements are not going to be imported.
  • Importing locations requires that ProTrack Warehouse is idle (no background processing) during the import process.
