Configuring a bulk import template

1. Upload media files to a Dropbox folder.

3. Populate video data into the .CSV.

• Column A URL — Starting with row 2, copy shareable Dropbox links and paste into column A of the template.

  • Generate shareable Dropbox links by clicking Share > Create Link > Copy Link.
  • Paste into Column A of the template.
  • Change end of link from dl=0 (default) to dl=1.

• Column B Source — Insert public into every row or use a spreadsheet editor Fill > Down.

• Column C Title — Input the title of each media file. Title has a 75 character maximum.

• Column D Description — Optional. Input a description of the media. Description has a 600 character maximum.

• Column E LanguageCode — Input the code for the media spoken language (for example, en if media is in English). For a full list of language codes, see Supported languages.

• Column F CountryCode — Input the media country of origin (for example US for United States, GB for the United Kingdom, CA for Canada). For a full list of country codes, see Supported country codes.

• Column G Tags — Optional. Input tags for media. Separate multiple tags with a comma.

• Column H-J Transcription and Translation — Set transcription (and translation if applicable) for each media file.

  • Column H HumanTranscription — input yes in column H to request Human Transcription. Input no in column I.

    Important: Human transcription incurs additional cost. Contact your Medallia Representative for pricing information.

  • Column I MachineSpeechRecognition — The template is set to request Machine Speech Recognition (column I MachineSpeechRecognition — yes). For non-English media, setting column I to yes automatically also requests a machine translation.

    Note: Replicate Columns H-J to request Machine Speech Recognition (speech to text) for media files. If you require human transcriptions and translations, set columns H-J accordingly.

  • Column J HumanTranslation — For non-English media, input yes in column J to request Human Translation. Only input yes in column J if you first input yes in column H to request Human Transcription. Input no in column I.

    Important: Human translation incurs additional cost. Contact your Medallia Representative for pricing information.

• Column K SpeakerId — If you require Speaker Separation for transcriptions, input yes. See Supported languages.

• Column L and above Filter — Optional. Input filter data in columns L and above. Input one filter per column. Format is filter group:filter name, with no space on either side of the colon. See the following format examples

  Age:18-25

  Gender:Female

4. Before importing your files into Video, double check the format is correct.

• Verify all Dropbox links end in "dl=1" (Links will have dl=0 as default).
• Verify required columns are filled out. Video recommends checking columns A-C, E, F, H-L.
• Verify filter data is in the correct format (for example Age:21-38, Gender:Male) and there are no colons in filter data aside from the colon between your filter category and filter label (Age:18-25).
• Check that the file is saved in .CSV format.

See here for an example of what a completed .CSV template should look like.
