Table of Contents
Paradox can consume client location data through the manual addition of locations, manual CSV file import, CSV file import through a Paradox sFTP, or the Paradox API. CSV / SFTP is recommended, API should be used for specific client cases.
Best practices for implementation
- When implementing Location Feeds, it is highly encouraged to set up data feeds with date and time included in their files' naming convention (include YYMMDD_HHMMSS instead of just YYMMDD). If files are sent over on the same day and you’ve included only YYMMDD, then the latest file will override the previous file in the system, preventing any way to analyze the original file upload.

Permissions
By default, only Paradox Admins will have access to Data Feeds. If you and/or a member of your team needs access to uploading one-time location files and/or viewing scheduled location feeds, request to have the Locations permission (under the Data Feeds parent permission) granted for the necessary user roles.
