Create route readings with a spreadsheet

Setup spreadsheets save time and let you create multiple items at once.

The menu displays spreadsheets matching your permissions.
Always download a new spreadsheet before you begin adding data because the spreadsheet is populated with information from your database.
To avoid errors when creating different objects refer to the required upload order.
To save time when creating many objects, select from the drop-down menu and then copy and paste the value into the other rows.
