About this course

Import pre-existing data for field deployment!

This course is designed to teach you how to import data including records, locations, and media files.  Fulcrum supports only .CSV or .SHP (shapefile) format for importing.

Importing data into your apps before field deployment can be useful and time-saving when you you want to make the certain data available to field staff to either update in the field or use as referenced while collecting additional information.  You can also import updated records to mass update existing records.
