Requirements for the CSV File

In order to update the vehicle database which is available to the Decisiv Service Management Platform Dealer Network, you need to prepare a CSV (comma separated file) file and upload it using the upload form.

The CSV file can only contain the following fields in the order listed:

1. Fleet Name (Required field): The name you used to sign up.
2. Action (Required field): This value can be one of the three: Add, Delete, or Update. Based upon the values in these fields, new vehicles will be added, existing vehicles will be deleted, or the existing vehicle database will be updated.
3. VIN (Required field): This is the 17 digit VIN.
4. Unit Number (Optional field): Enter if your vehicles have assigned unit numbers used by fleet managers, drivers, and others in your organization. Dealers can use unit numbers to search and locate vehicles when creating an estimate.
5. Mileage (Optional field): Add if the current mileage is available.
6. Notes (Optional field): This can contain any data that’s helpful to the dealers during estimate creation, such as:
   • Engine Serial Number
   • Transmission Serial Number and Make, Model
   • Special instructions for handling a special type of asset

Once you have created the CSV file and saved it on your local hard disk, you can upload it using the form.
