Create an import group and use it to bulk update floor plans.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_map_core.map_admin, sn_map_core.map_editor

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllIndoor MappingBulk importsImport Groups.  
   You can also navigate to AllIndoor MappingMap Studio.
2. On the Floor plan import groups list, select New.  
   Note:  
   If you are in the Map Studio, select Import files on the Bulk update maps card.
3. On the Floor plan import group form, fill in the fields.  
   For a description of the field values, see [Floor map import group form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/WmBVkrLujcL28D5xZrnjNQ "You can specify details about the import group and select users who must be notified of the import progress.").
4. Select Submit.
5. Attach CAD or PNG files to the record.  
   For more information about attaching files to a record, see [Manage attachments](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_ManagingAttachments&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US).
6. Select Start Import.  
   The system creates import tasks based on the number of files attached to the record.
