The NEPOOL-GIS Registry gives users the ability to upload a CSV file to register a set of CPS Resources. The file upload feature is available on the CPS Resources page where users currently register projects one-by-one through the interface. Once selecting a Resource Type, the File Upload button will be enabled:
Clicking on the button will open a pop up to select a file. The user has the options to ‘Save the Resources as Draft’, or ‘Submit Resources’ for administrator approval:
The columns required in the CSV file depend on the Resource Type selected. The table below indicates which columns are required for each Resource Type:
