Import Existing POP Spreadsheets

Now that Discovery has run (or even before it has completed), you can accelerate the process of building your Inventory by importing any spreadsheets you might already have. Doing this will automatically move any POP imported from your spreadsheet from Discovery into Inventory.

Brandle requires a CSV file for import and you are able to add as much Tag, Contact and Note information as you'd like. Some companies already have a good start on the details of your tag strategy and contacts for your points-of-presence, so adding this to the spreadsheet is the fastest approach.

The format required uses a header column for the title (including the Tag Category) and the cells containing the specific data for that POP. For known contacts who manage or own the account, you can list them by Contact Role (which you created in the Contact Tab area) and then place the email address of the person associated with the specific POP. You can always add contacts later.

It will look something like this:

If you only have a list of URLs with a basic data point (such as the brand or country of management), then that's OK too. We will import what you have and you can either add tags and contacts within Brandle, or we can re-import another CSV at a later date when you have more information. Brandle imports are "additive" so new tags and contacts can be added. 

Note: any time a POP is moved to your Inventory, it may trigger a new Discovery if the POP introduced new information to the system; so don't be surprised if new POPs continue to show up or move up in your Discovery.
