Before uploading the import file, please consider the tips in our article Data preparation for automatic route planning. You will learn here, for example, which data portatour® absolutely needs for route planning and which you can optionally import.
Choose and upload the import file
- Click on Choose file or the icon next to it.
- Locate the desired file in the file selection dialog. The supported formats are listed in the application. Only the files that match these formats will be displayed in the selection dialog.
- Click Open.
- Optional: Click on the link use a previously downloaded import configuration and select the IMPORTCFG file to use a previously downloaded import configuration for this import (see Download and use import configuration).
- Click Upload.
Hint: Complex filters or formulas in Excel files may potentially cause errors when importing the file. If this is the case, copy the cells of the source file and paste them as values into a new Excel file using the Windows clipboard, and then import this new file.
Hint: portatour® automatically recognizes the used separator and encoding of the file for source files in CSV or TXT formats. Set the separator and encoding manually if you recognize during the following import steps that the columns have not been recognized correctly or that special characters are not displayed properly. Unicode (UTF-8), US-ASCII and Western European (Windows) are widespread.
