Design Registration Bulk Upload Process
Overview
The Bulk Upload Feature allows you to upload multiple Design Registrations or make several edits to existing Design Registrations all at once. The Bulk Upload Template is linked below, so you always have access to the latest template version.
Batched Design Registrations are viewable as soon as they are uploaded, allowing you to review them immediately, and they are editable until approved. Intel Representatives receive email notification of these Design Registrations, once submitted.
Bulk Upload Template
The Bulk Upload Documents link on the Partner Portal Home page connects here, where you will find the most up-to-date Bulk Upload template and template description files. Additionally, clicking on the Eligible Products link on the Partner Portal main page, or selecting the Design Registration Eligible Products report in the Reports tab, will provide you with the latest list of products that are eligible to be used in your design.
There are three different types of columns in the Bulk Upload template: File Level Columns, Product Columns, and Header Columns.
A chart with all the template column names, along with complete field descriptions, is available in the Download template descriptions link above. The chart also identifies which columns are required for submission.
File Level Columns
The Group ID is a unique identifier provided for each registration, consisting of one header and one or more products.
The Product/Header column indicates if the data in that row is for the product or the header.
These are the File level columns in the template. In the graphic to the right, Group ID 1, has 1 header and 1 product. Group ID 2, has 1 header and 3 products.
Header Columns
Header columns provide header related data for the Design Registration.
These are examples of Header columns in the Bulk Upload template.
Product Columns
Product Columns provide product related data for the Design Registration.
These are examples of Product columns in the Bulk Upload template.
Bulk Upload Process
To begin the process, click the Upload Design Registrations tab.
Next, click the Choose File button to navigate to your bulk upload file. ((filename).cvs)
Once the file is selected, click Import Design Registration.
Duplicate Upload Soft Warning
When you upload a file with the same title and row count, you will get a soft warning that the file has already been uploaded before. Click OK and the Bulk Upload proceeds. The re-upload does NOT try to replicate existing Design Registrations. If no changes are made to any existing line items, those records will remain the same.
Important—If a Design Registration has already been approved, the upload will fail.
Key Points and Reminders
Once the template is filled out, you must save it as a .csv file to maintain the UTF8 format prior to upload.
Owner field should be left blank. The email of the importer will be auto populated during the upload.
Dates need to be in US date format (mm/dd/yyyy).
Columns can be rearranged in the template, but the column names cannot be altered nor can there be columns without a column name.
Dependencies on available products may be determined by Vertical Market selection.
