Loading new or historic data has never been easier than with ManageCasa's bulk upload features. We have added advanced heuristics to read and understand your data to find and create the necessary relationships in your data for you. The Artificial Intelligence in our software will make loading your data easy and fast.
1. Prepare Data for Import
The artificial intelligence in our software will make loading your data easy and fast. To get started, navigate to the More Features tab in the left navigation bar and select Bulk Upload.
Then select what type of data you will be uploading. Based on your account's privilege level we will present you with a list of options of what you can upload into the system.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For initial data loads, we recommend to upload data types in the following order as there are dependencies:
| FOR ASSOCIATION MANAGERS | FOR RENTAL ACCOUNTS |
| 1. Upload Contacts | 1. Upload Contacts |
| 2. Upload Properties | 2. Upload Properties |
| 3. Associate Properties | 3. Upload Lease Agreements |
| 4. Upload Transactions | 4. Upload Property Management Terms |
| 5. Upload Transactions |
We provide handy templates to fill out using MS Excel — you can download these in step two from the Bulk Upload page. These templates include error checking and dropdown lists to make it easy to enter the data.
Before you move on to Step 2, make sure your data is correct: i.e. you have all the necessary information, especially for mandatory fields, there are no duplicates, and the information is current.
Remember the basic rule in data management: 'Garbage in, garbage out'. Meaning: your transactional data will never be correct as long as your master data is incorrect. It's all about Data Quality! You are the best judge of your own records, so please review them carefully. While you can correct data later, it is much more time-consuming than getting it right the first time.
2. Upload your data into ManageCasa
Once you have compiled all of your data into the spreadsheet, simply drag the spreadsheet into the application or click the Upload box then select your file, then click Import.
If there are any errors we will send back the spreadsheet with the errors highlighted in yellow. If all the data passes, then it will be loaded and available within a very short time.
