The Import button is a powerful tool to add multiple destination addresses at once. You can copy addresses in any application and paste those in the Import textarea. Each address is sent to a [[Geocoding]] service to locate it on the map.
=== Instructions ===[[File:Import_dialog.png]]
== Instructions == 1. Select the addresses in the origin application, e.g. Worddocument, Excel spreadsheet or Outlookemail
2. Copy all addresses using the correct keyboard combination (often Ctrl-c)
=== Notes ===
- * Each single address should be on one single line.If an address is broken in several lines, each single line will be processed individually, resulting in multiple same destinations on the map and/or import errors. * If there are problems, a message will be displayed after all addresses have been handled. If you only import partial addresses, e.g. postcodes, you may get several warnings that addresses were not precise. To preven this warning, deselect the address precise check in the [[options]]. * If locations are not found, make sure to use the correct [[Address format]] or select another [[Geocoding]] service. * The import dialog accepts coordinates. Coordinates must be in the format ''<lat>,<lng>'' and have a precision of at least 4 decimal places. Coordinates can be combined with additional fields. * The import dialog accepts JSON too, but the format must match the [[API]] locations array. If you are using the API this is a great way to check the results. == Additional fields == With the address you can also import names, service times, time windows and comments. These additional fields will be stripped from the input before [[geocoding]] and added to the location on the map. * Names between @ and @ * Service times in minutes between ( and ) * Ready and due time as hh:mm before and after >> * Comments between { and } * Demand for [[Multiple rounds|capacity]] as number between ^ and ^ * Heading (angle of approach) in degrees between * and * === Example === ''Kennemerstraatweg 464, 1851 NG Heiloo, The Netherlands @RouteXL headquarters@ (15) 14:00>>18:00 {Use the main entrance, leave the package at the front desk}'' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI8dYbGxt8Y Demo video formatting additional fields in Excel]
