VPRS System Bulk Upload Feature
Using the Bulk Upload feature, you can import data which has been entered into a preformatted spreadsheet and generate multiple reports at once. Only one type of report (Plant, Animal, or Vernal Pool) can be imported at a time. The Bulk Upload feature is one of the more complex functions of the system and therefore several help guides are available below.

Additional Spreadsheets
All three bulk import spreadsheets require that you input a Town. This must be one of the 351 towns listed in the VPRS system, please refer to the "Towns" Excel spreadsheet for the offical town names.
The Plant and Animal bulk upload spreadsheets require that you input a Scientific Species Name. If the name is not entered correctly the system will not match the report up with the appropriate species within the system. Please refer to the "Species" Excel spreadsheet for the species listed in our database.
