1. Using mass import to add several lines:

1. Go to Settings / Lines
   
   
2. Click on "Add line"
   
   
3. Click on "Download Template" and save the template on your computer (or use the template at the end of this article)
   The header looks like:

4. Prepare the template
   1. Keep the header line into the file
       
   2. Each field must be separated with a semi column: ";"
      
      
   3. The phone number format must be: country code + phone number
      1. Example: 14049323434 (for USA phone number)
      2. Example: 33659095433 (for a French phone number)
         
         
   4. The tag field - Tags are useful to select lines into Datalert portal. Tags can be any information you need to see on the portal such as organization information, location information, carrier, manager name or EID...
      
      1. You can add as many tags you want for a line
      2. Each tag must be separated by a "space"
      3. If a tag has a space itself, replace the space by a"_". Example "Los Angeles" --> "Los_Angeles"
         
         
   5. "is_sms_active" field defines if the device can receive SMS or not
      1. If this is for a smartphone the value needs to be "1"
      2. If this is for a tablet / iPad the value needs to be "0"
         
         
5. When the file is ready, save it with a .csv format.
