Admins can bulk upload bookings through the Manage Portal. This is useful for creating multiple bookings at once, rather than entering each one individually.
This is also useful for clients managing shift workers, where admins book parking on behalf of staff through the portal instead of staff booking through the app.
When you open the bulk upload tool, you'll choose between two tabs: Per-Day Bookings and Range Bookings. Which one you use depends on whether the bookings are same-day or overnight.
Per-Day Bookings: use this when every booking in your file starts and ends on the same day.
Range Bookings: use this when your file includes any overnight bookings, bookings that start on one day and end on another. A Range Bookings file can also include same-day bookings alongside overnight ones, so if you have a mix, upload the whole file through this tab.
Per-Day Bookings
Use this tab when every booking in your file starts and ends on the same day.
Steps:
Go to the Book Parking tab.
Select your booking type: visitor or staff parking.
Select your asset group.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Bulk Upload.
Select the Per-Day Bookings tab.
Download the CSV template and fill in the booking details.
Drag and drop the completed CSV file into the upload area.
Select Review.
Check the bookings and times are correct.
Select Create Bookings.
Range Bookings
Use this tab for any file that includes bookings spanning midnight, such as overnight parking for shift workers. You can also include same-day bookings in the same file. Each row creates one continuous booking that runs from its start date and time through to its end date and time, whether that's within one day or across two.
Steps:
Go to the Book Parking tab.
Select your booking type: visitor or staff parking.
Select your asset group.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Bulk Upload.
Select the Range Bookings tab.
Download the Range Template and fill in the booking details (see field guide below).
Drag and drop the completed CSV file into the upload area.
Select Review.
Check the bookings and times are correct.
Select Create Bookings.
