Import reasons for downtime

Create reasons for downtime in bulk by importing them from a CSV file, instead of adding them one by one.

Overview

Reasons for downtime are the reasons used by adverse events, managed under Account settings > Adverse events > Reasons for downtime. This import lets you create them in bulk from a .csv file.

Before you start

Prepare a .csv file with a column for the reason Name and a column for its Type.
The Type must be one of the supported adverse event types: Adverse Event, Weather, or EHS.

Fields

Field	Required	Description
Name	Yes	The name of the reason for downtime
Type	Yes	The reason type — one of `Adverse Event`, `Weather`, or `EHS`
ID	No	An optional display ID for the reason

Import your reasons

Open the Imports area and choose the Reasons for downtime import.
Upload your .csv file.
Map your columns to the Name, Type, and optional ID fields.
Run the import. Each row creates or updates a reason for downtime.

Common error messages

Error	Cause
"Name is required"	A row is missing a value in the Name column
"Type is required"	A row is missing a value in the Type column
"Invalid type: '[value]', can only be one of Adverse Event, Weather, EHS"	The Type value is not one of the supported types

Note: The Delete all option is not available for this import, because reasons for downtime are referenced by adverse events.
