The DSbulkUploadR (DataStore Bulk Uploader) is designed to help efficiently transfer data to DataStore, create the appropriate references, and automate populating them to the greatest extent possible.

Consult with the IMD CSO Data Science Team before using!

Because DSbulkUploadR automates DataStore reference creation and file uploads, there is a very real possibility that using it could have unintended consequences. For instance, you could inadvertently create hundreds or thousands of draft references that need to be cleaned up. You really don’t want to make mistakes using this package. Its designed to be easy to use - perhaps too easy!

So please consult with the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Central Support Office Data Science Team (currently Judd Patterson, Rob Baker, Wendy Thorsdatter and on a good day, Sarah Wright) before using this tool. We promise we can help make your life easier! (And you just might make our lives easier too).
