With the newly developed feature of Faradai Energy, many points can be added simultaneously.

Follow the steps below to use the newly developed feature:

  • Step 1: Firstly, go to the 'Admin Panel' from the 'My Account' section in the navigation bar.
  • Step 2: Go to the Locations section in the Admin Panel. From here, you can add or edit points in bulk.

Adding points in bulk

There are two different excel templates Users can use to add and edit points. If desired to add, the default excel template is downloaded as blank, and it has to be filled according to the instructions written on the excel templates. It is then restored to the system. Thus, single or many points can be added to the system simultaneously. This feature can be applied to locations, sub-locations, and assets.

  • Step 1: Click the 'Create New +' button
  • Step 2: Select the 'Add locations via upload' option from the opening list
  • Step 3: Click the 'Download Template' button from the opening window.

There are three sheets for location, sub-location, and assets individually.
