  2. Firstly, you'll need to select the language of your file:
  3. Next, you'll find an explanation of what information you'll need:
    1. Client Code: This code corresponds to the client to which the building/folder/location will be associated. The client code was previously created in the “Client, Locals and Operators” workbook or the platform. 
    2. Client Name: This name corresponds to the client to which the building/folder/location will be associated. The client name was previously created in the “Client, Locals and Operators” workbook or the platform.
    3. Local Code: The local code will be used by Infraspeak to catalogue locals in the database and differentiate them from other locals with the same name.
    4. Local Name: This is the name by which the folder/location will be known.
    5. Parent Folder: Infraspeak uses a tree structure to organize buildings, with buildings being the top level, and inside a building we can have folders and/or locals, and inside folders we can have more folders and/or locals and so on. This field indicates how the building tree will be organized.
    6. Typology: This field indicates the type of area we are creating as it can be a bathroom, room, hallway, etc. More types can be added as required in each case. You can insert General as default setting. 
    7. Type: This field indicates what type of structure we want to create.
    8. Operator: If we want to associate a user or more than one user to a building or local, we just have to insert his email in this column (for more than one user, use “;” to separate their emails)                                        
  4. Keep in mind, all Orange columns are mandatory.
