Update bulk import in-platform documentation to reflect actual schema required for geolocation data

Open noah-schechter opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Right now, the in-platform documentation for bulk import indicates that two columns are necessary for importing geolocation info: a longitude column and a latitude column. This is incorrect. The feature actually requires a single location column with lat, lon values. For instance, a potential value of the location column would be: 1.23, 3.11.

The existing copy reads: geolocation— put latitude in a latitude column, and longitude in a longitude column

Instead, I think it should say: geolocation— put comma-separated latitude, longitude pairs in a location column

Perhaps there's a slightly clearer way to indicate the format of values in this column? Our documentation only dedicates about one sentence to each column; so without expanding the guidance (with an example, for instance) I'm not quite sure how to make this more descriptive.
