You can import two Two types of Library Items are available for importing - documents and geospatial items.
Please read the general Importing Data into Crisisworks instructions before proceeding with Importing users.
Importing Library Items
From the "What do you want to import?" drop down list on the Import Form, select the Library Items option.
You will then be presented with what type of Library Items you would like to import. If you are importing simple Library Documents, choose the "Library Item (Document schema Import)" option.
If you would like to import Geospatial data, you can choose the "Library Item > Geospatial > All Categories" option and specify the category in your spreadsheet, or alternatively you can choose one of the specific categories defined in the list.
Library Items (Document schema) Import
To import basic Library Items, choose the Library Item (Document schema Import) option.
The CSV file format for this import type is below:
Library Item (Geospatial Import)
The Library Item Geospatial Import option allows you to add a Library item for a specific category (ie Vulnerable Facility) with geospatial data included. It is also possible to add attach an asset, icon and assignment to this record.
If you would like to import records into multiple categories, choose the "Library Item > Geospatial > All Categories" option and set the Category field in your spreadsheet.
Alternatively, if you are only importing items for only one category, you should choose the category from the list. For example, if you are only importing Vulnerable Facilities, choose the "Library Item > Geospatial > Vulnerable Facility" option. This will automatically set the category to Vulnerable Facility on import. When choosing a specific category, you also have the option of deleting all existing data for this category and inserting all items as new. See below for more information on the Delete/Insert option.
Setting an Icon
You have the option of setting an icon for your Geospatial item in your import spreadsheet . To get a list of available icons to use, go to the Administration menu and choose Settings. Click on the Map Symbology link on the left hand side.
This will give you a list of available icons. Once you have found an icon that is appropriate for your item, you simply need to add the name of the icon into your spreadsheet in a column called Icon.
The CSV file format for this import type is below:
Here is a sample CSV file that you can base your import on. The Property field can either be the asset's address or it can use the code (this is your code)
