Resolving errors when uploading a Geo-contextual dataset

C
Written by Cindy Hwang

If you encounter an error when uploading a Geo-contextual dataset on the AMP or OOH Planner, please make sure that the file respect all of the requirements listed on the platform:

  • If you upload a CSV file, make sure that the values are separated with commas “,”

  • The file must not exceed 500MB

  • Make sure that the file must contain headers in order to recognise the columns containing the “latitude” and “longitude”.
    If you are uploading geometries in Well Known Text format, the column should be named “wkt”. Furthermore, the columns headers should be in english and should not contain any typo

  • The latitude and longitude must follow the following format with points:

latitude

longitude

48.85837

2.29448

  • The POIs should be located in the country selected in the dropdown. Any POIs outside this country won’t be correctly reflected when using our products. If you need to use our products in different countries, you will need to upload a file for each country

  • The file should not contain any special characters

Requirements

  • The file should contain the following columns (separator should be “,”):

Header

Details

RECOMMENDED

geo_id

Unique ID - This helps you to match the POI on the DSP or in reports

MANDATORY

latitude

MANDATORY

longitude

MANDATORY FOR POLYGONS

wkt

If you are using geometries instead of latitude & longitude coordinates

RECOMMENDED

address, zipcode, store_name…

Additional meta-data (address, zipcode, store_name, etc.) can be added, which especially useful for reports

What happens if there is no <geo_id> column?

In case there is no column named <geo_id>, a random id will be generated and attributed to the POI. Once the POI list is setup and used in a measurement, we cannot change it as this the referential data used by the DSP to attribute conversions.

  • The file must not exceed 500MB

  • Make sure that the headers is in english and does not contain any typo

  • The POIs should be located in the country selected in the dropdown. Any POIs outside this country won’t be correctly reflected when using our products. If you need to use our products in different countries, you will need to upload a file for each country

  • The file should not contain any special characters such as ~ ` @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + = { } [ ] | \ / : ; " ' < > , . ? § ° ¬ ± ¡ ¢ ¬ ® § ö ü ä ß é è ê, etc.

If you have checked all of the above and still encounter an error when uploading your Geo-contextual file, feel free to raise a ticket with the file attached.
