Instructions for creating and validating a file for uploading into the SCAR Map Catalogue

  1. Get login details by emailing mapping@aad.gov.au

  2. Login here (don't use the login button at the top of this page) and click the button "Download Template" and a ZIP file will download. The ZIP file contains two files: a template in CSV format and a readme text file. Each row below the column headings in the template is for the details of a new map to be loaded into the SCAR Map Catalogue. Note there is a limit of 250 maps that can be loaded at one time. (If any of the details being added to the map catalogue include diacritics, do not edit the CSV file in a spreadsheet.) The readme file has details about the requirements for data entry in each column of the template.

  3. When the map details have been added to the CSV file, check that the file will load correctly into the SCAR Map Catalogue by validating it here.

    1. Upload your CSV file by clicking on the blue button with 3 dots and navigating to the file.

    2. Click the red button "Validate maps".

    3. Read the information under the heading "Report". It will advise if your CSV file needs any corrections or whether it is ready to load.

    4. If your CSV file need correcting, make the necessary changes and repeat steps (a) to (c) until your file passes validation.

  4. Email your validated CSV file to mapping@aad.gov.au

  5. You will receive an email when your CSV file has been loaded. Please check that your maps have been successfully loaded.
