Bulk Edit/Update Multiple Tags

Created by Nicholas Czarnick, Modified on Fri, 6 Sep at 10:42 PM by Nicholas Czarnick

1. Export the Tag List that contains the Tags to be modified.

  • The downloaded CSV file contains for each tag: 
    • The ID of the Tag 
    • The 6 coordinates of the Tag bounding box
    • Description (if a description has been entered for the Tag) 
    • The Cintoo URL of each Tag (e.g. https://aec.cintoo.com/tag/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
    • All the metadata for each Tag



2. Open the CSV file and make edits to each Tag as needed.

  • Do NOT edit any existing tag ID, bounding box coordinates, or Cintoo URL:


  • Tag description and any tag metadata are OK to edit:
  • Add new rows with at least the "id" column filled in to create additional Tags. These new rows will automatically generate new Tags when the CSV is imported to Cintoo:


3. When all necessary edits have been made, save and close out of the CSV file.


4. Re-import the Tag List to Cintoo from the Tag Explorer or from the Data Tab.

  • Cintoo will check each value in the ID column of the spreadsheet file, and for any existing ID on the list it will replace any metadata value that is different from the current value for that Tag. 
  • If the Tag ID doesn't exist in the original tag list on Cintoo, a new Tag will be created and added.
