How to create the first Site scanner project (Upload properties via CSV)

Learn how to create a Site Scanner project from a CSV, configure AI and property boundary settings, map your columns, analyze properties in bulk, and review completed sites and errors.

Upload a CSV of property addresses and Duranta measures and analyzes every site in the list.

💡 Site Scanner is available in the web app only.

Prepare your CSV

Use one row for each property.

Duranta needs an address for every row. You can provide the address in a single column or split it into separate fields.

Use a complete address

complete_address

2701 1st Ave, Seattle, WA 98121

Or split the address into columns

street

city

state

zip

2701 1st Ave

Seattle

WA

98121

Using separate address columns can improve accuracy because Duranta has less information to interpret.

Add a unique Site ID

You can also include your own identifier for each property, such as:

  • property_id

  • site_id

  • Another ID you already use

A Site ID is optional, but it makes it easier to match Site Scanner results with your own records and helps prevent duplicate uploads.

If you include a Site ID:

  • Every row must have a value

  • Every value must be unique

Upload the file

  1. Open Site Scanner from the sidebar.

  2. Drag your .csv file onto the upload area, or browse for the file.

Site Scanner accepts CSV files.

If you upload another file type, Duranta shows:

That file isn't a CSV. Try uploading a .csv file.

Set up the project

Configure the project before starting the analysis.

1. Name the project

Enter a Project name.

💡 The project name is required and must be different from your existing Site Scanner project names.

2. Choose the AI model

Option

Use it for

Auto

Let Duranta choose the model for each site — the default

Residential

Homes and smaller properties

Commercial - Fast

Commercial properties

Commercial — Makros (beta)

Larger commercial model, when enabled for your workspace

3. Choose the property boundaries

Choose how Duranta determines the area to analyze.

Use the estimated service area from AI is the default.

Choose Use the official property boundaries when you want the analysis limited to the confirmed parcel.

With official boundaries, Duranta analyzes only inside the confirmed property boundary and excludes nearby easements or municipal areas.

4. Configure Site Owner and Verified

Turn on Show Site Owner to add a Site Owner column to the project table and CSV exports.

You can also choose the owner that all sites in the upload start with.

Turn on Show Verified to add the Verified column to the project and its exports.

These settings apply to the current project.

Map your columns

Under Map your columns, tell Duranta what each column in your CSV represents.

Duranta field

What to map

Site ID

Your own unique identifier — optional

Complete address

The entire address in one column

Street Address

Street address

Suite / Unit

Suite or unit number

City

City

State

State

Zip Code

ZIP code

Use either:

  • Complete address

or

  • Street Address, City, State, and Zip Code

Do not use both approaches for the same upload.

For columns you do not need, select Skip this column.

A preview of your CSV appears beside the mapping controls so you can confirm that each column is assigned correctly.

Duranta prevents mappings that cannot be analyzed, including:

  • Only one Site ID column can be selected.

  • Duplicate address component selected. Each of Street/City/State/ZIP can only be chosen once.

  • Choose either a Complete Address column OR select one each of Street/City/State/ZIP. Site ID is optional.

Analyze the project

When everything is ready, select Analyze.

If required information is missing, Duranta tells you what needs to be fixed.

For example:

  • Enter a project name to continue

  • Map an address column: either a complete address, or street, city, state, and zip.

  • Site ID must be unique…

  • Site ID cannot be empty…

If there is a Site ID problem, correct the values in your CSV or remove the Site ID mapping.

To discard the current setup and upload another file, select Start over.

Watch the analysis

Sites appear as they finish processing.

The project shows progress as:

{analyzed} / {total} addresses

Large projects can take a few minutes.

You do not need to keep the project open while it runs. You can return to it later from Previous projects.

Review the results

Site Scanner separates the results into Completed and Errors.

Completed

The Completed tab contains sites that were processed successfully.

Each site shows its measured areas in square feet.

You can:

  • Open a site to view its map

  • Use Copy values to copy its measurements into a spreadsheet

What each successful row shows

Each successfully analyzed property includes:

  • Property map preview

  • Row ID

  • Address

  • Site Owner (Optional)

  • Verified (Optional)

  • Measurement results

  • Link to site

Measurements in square feet

The following values are measured in ft²:

Errors

The Errors tab contains sites that need attention.

Select Next error to move through them.

Message

What happened

Address not found

Duranta could not resolve the address. Check the address in your CSV.

Multiple parcels found

The address matched more than one parcel, so Duranta could not select a boundary automatically.

AI analysis failed

The property's AI analysis did not complete.

Edit or delete a site when you need to correct it.

If the address marker is in the wrong location, long-press the map to move it.

If you use Adjust lot to correct the property boundary, Duranta automatically runs the AI analysis again.

You will see:

Lot adjusted. AI analysis will run automatically.

Rename, delete, and change column settings

Open Project actions to manage the project.

From there, you can:

  • Rename project

  • Delete project

  • Change Show Site Owner

  • Change Show Verified

Deleting a project is permanent and removes every site in that project.
