Properties can either be added or updated, depending on the data in the import file. If you want to add a new property, the property number supplied in the import file must NOT already exist in the Pinnacle database. If you want to update an existing property, the property number supplied in the import file MUST already exist in the Pinnacle database. Updates and additions can be mixed within the one import file if necessary.
All the Required fields must be supplied when you are adding a new property. If you are updating an existing property, you do not need to supply the Required fields (other than the Property Number). Any fields left blank in the import file when updating an existing property will be left unchanged in Pinnacle. The property number cannot be updated for an existing property.
The data file to import Properties must consist of twenty (20) comma separated columns. The columns must be in the following order:
