Importing new potentials, and other data
This option allows you to import any data that can be used as a potential within Network Toolkit
Click on ‘Choose File’ and navigate to the csv file on your computer. Select the csv file and then click ‘submit’.
An upload file preview shows the first few records of your file. Select the column to geocode. This column will appear as an orange colour to confirm your selection.
This will identify the correct geography polygon and the location of where this data will be seen on your map. It will also allow Network Toolkit to calculate drivetimes to and from the location where this data sits. Next, confirm the level of geography. Network Toolkit can’t automatically detect what level of geography this is, so you will have to manually confirm this. This must be the same as the geography level in the column to geocode.
Do not check the ‘Importing a new network ?’ box – you must only check this if you are importing an outlet network to save as a scenario.
Click on ‘Verify data’ button.
Network Toolkit will check your input file and return any records if;
a) The postcode, zipcode, address isn’t recognised
b) Two or more postcodes, zipcodes or addresses are identical
In each case, you have the opportunity to either edit the record or delete it from the import.
Once you have deleted, edited your records, click on ‘Save changes’ to re-check the data. Once the data import wizard has completed all checks and there are no more errors, a confirmation message will be shown. Click on the ‘Process’ button to continue.
Network Toolkit will now take some time to import the dealer points and calculate initial metrics for the network. This could take up to several minutes.
Once you have imported these datasets, you will be able to select them from a list of potentials for LiveImpact and report creation.
