# Importing Location Reviews

MetaLocator allows you to manage and display reviews for each record in your database.  You can see all of your reviews under the **Reviews** tab of the MetaLocator Control Panel as shown here.

Each review is linked to a single record, and records can have multiple reviews.  You can jump directly to that record using the shortcut in the record column.

All reviews include the following fields:

* **Rating**: A decimal number from 1-5 indicating the number of stars.
* **Date**:  The date the rating was provided
* **Comments**: Comments provided by the reviewer
* **Full Name**: The name of the reviewer
* **Email Address**: The email address of the reviewer
* **Published**:  A flag indicating if the record is publicly view-able or not.

You can search the Review Panel for a keyword that will match comments, email address, name or the ID of the record.

## Importing Reviews in Bulk

Reviews can be added one at a time or they can be imported in bulk along with your locations.  Reviews can also be [imported from Yext](https://support.metalocator.com/en/articles/2747870-importing-location-data-from-yext). To import reviews, add columns as follows to your normal MetaLocator import spreadsheet:

**review_rating1**

**review_comments1**

**review_emailaddress1**

**review_date1**

**review_published1**

**review_fullname1**

To import more than one review per record, simply provide another set of columns with a higher number at the end, (E.g. review_rating2)

You must provide data for at least the review_rating field for the review to be imported.  Reviews imported multiple times will be not be duplicated.
