Once your file is ready to be uploaded, you can submit this in the “Upload your companies” section of the "Company Mapping" tab.
Creating your internal ID
If this is your first time doing a data mapping exercise, you will be asked to create your own internal ID for the group of hotels you are mapping against. You can give this any name you like as long as this is relevant to you. It could be something like "[YOUR COMPANY NAME'S] Reference Number".
Choosing your parameters
Once you have created your own internal ID, you will then be able to upload your file. Before you upload this, you can choose whether you want to include properties with an expired certification, or without an expiration date. We recommend that you include these results, as if the certification is expired or invalid it will automatically be updated if the hotel becomes re-certified. You may also wish to include these results if you have a property that needs reminding to be re-certified.
While you can choose to show low confidence matches, please be aware that this will involve more manual work for you during the review process.
You can also select which certifications you would like to map against, whether you are only looking for GSTC or Travalyst recognised certifications:
After you have selected your parameters, you can then upload your CSV file to start the data mapping process. There's no limit to the number of hotels you can map against or file size, so whether you're mapping against 5000 or 500,000 properties, you can do this in a single data mapping exercise.
If the formatting is correct, you will be notified that your mapping request has been successful:
If you receive an error message when you try to upload your file, it could mean that some of your data is not in the correct format. If you are unable to identify this, you can consult our Customer Support team via the live chat feature in the bottom-right corner, who will happily check your file and identify the issue.
Once you've submitted your data
The mapping will take a few moments to complete, and the status of the mapping will show as "In progress" while it is being processed. After this, the mapping will go to either a "Success" or "Failed" status:
