Prepping Data

Preparing your data to upload

To bulk upload MI into the database you will need to prepare a .csv document with the key information to be attributed to your uploaded data.

A copy of an example CSV is available on the upload tool page. You can download this and use it to enter the required data you want to upload. You will need:

  • A list of the email addresses to attribute views to
  • A date and time for the views, N.B. this column should be formatted as YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS
  • A viewing duration in seconds (for live events you should have unique times for each viewer, otherwise you may need to set this to the full duration of the video)
  • A video ID to assign the views to
  • A player ID

Enter the above information into your spreadsheet ready to upload.

Next you'll need to upload your data, follow this guide to do that.
