use various project numbers in a bulk load DAT file

Hello,

Yesterday I found the Bulk Load Tool for uploading bulk to Project Wise.

I am hoping to upload to different PW folders in one DAT file.

Document 1, Project number = long32:3300

Document 2, Project number = long32:913

But when running the "Process Bulk Load File" Tool, it prompts for a specific "Parent folder" and uploads the Documents to that specific folder (Project).

What have I missed?

Thank you.

Kevin.

  • I have a feeling that the Process Bulk Load File Tool is only intended to create folders (projects) and sub-folders and upload documents to the newly created folders.

    Looks like you cannot add Documents to existing sub-folders with this Tool .. If you can then PLEASE show me how.

    This DAT file worked for me, it created the sub-folders and placed documents in sub-folders.

  • Do not use the Bulk Load Tool, rather use "Create Excel Template" and "Import from Excel"
