How to Import Sites
Importing sites into Cerely allows you to efficiently upload multiple site records in bulk using a structured CSV template. This article outlines the step-by-step process to prepare your data, upload the file, and ensure a smooth import into your Sites list.
To import site data into the system, follow these steps:
1. From the home screen in Cerely, click on the Site tab from the Cerely top main menu

2. Click on the Import Sites button on the right hand side

3. Click on the Download Sample File to access the import file template for completion

4. Input your site data into the downloaded template file
Important: The following fields are mandatory for a successful import:
- Site Name
- Client Name
- State
- Division
- Location (Address)
These mandatory fields are essential as they are used as filters and identifiers throughout the system
5. Save your completed template file once completed and upload it by clicking on Next

6. Once you have uploaded the file, choose how you want to import the records:
- Add as a New Site - Use this option if the site does not already exist in the system.
- Update Existing Site Only - Use this option if the site already exists in the system and you want to update their details.
- Both - Use this option if your import file contains a mix of new and existing sites
Cerely Will:
- Create new site records where no matching site exists, and
- Update existing site records where a match is found
