Create your address book

 

Interests :

Missions: select your customers, suppliers, sites, delivery or pick-up points by their name and addresses and their geolocation will be selected automatically.

Trip / activity reports: addresses will be replaced by the name entered in the address book. The addresses entered in the address book can also be used to filter the activity reports based on certain addresses only.

How to create/enrich your address book? 

There are two ways to create a card in the notebook:

1. Import an address file in Excel format (.csv)

2. Enter the addresses manually.

Import an addresses file

Import your addresses directly into the application using the proposed file template. 

The number of addresses is limited to 500 per import
Please import multiple files for quantities > 500

Procedure:

1. Download the file template by clicking on  and follow the instructions for entering addresses:

  • Enter the data per column in the file.
  • Keep the postal code field in numeric form. The city field should not contain commas.
  • Save the file as 'CSV UTF-8 (comma delimited)(*.csv)' on your computer.

2. Click on NEXT.

3. Click the "Choose a file" button, and then select and open the file you just SAVED.

4. Click on the "Import" button. 

After a few minutes (depending on the amount of addresses), the system will have geocoded the addresses, and the corresponding latitudes/longitudes will be automatically stored.

The addresses are now displayed on the screen.

Existing addresses in the application (identical lat/long) will not be taken into account.

5. By clicking on  you can CHANGE or DELETE each address.

You can export your address list, in .csv format, by clicking on this button :

Legend of the columns of the file :

  • lib_adresse : name of the client or site listed
  • Adresse : geographical address
  • code_postal : no spaces, no dashes, numeric only
  • ville_adresse : city in words
  • Tel : possibly a landline telephone number
  • Gsm : possibly a cell phone number
  • Groupe : address group: important for the distribution of supervisor access rights
  • dist_detect : set by default to 100 meters. Accepts the following values (10, 20, 30 ....750). Do not add units, meters will be taken into account.
