Although bulk imports can support up to 1000 encounters in a single spreadsheet, that also makes it slow to process and slow to load. Try to limit each spreadsheet to a few hundred encounters or less.

The Photo Review page is a temporary storage space of recently imported photos. This is the first step of the bulk import process. The second step happens when the spreadsheet is uploaded and connects the data to the images from that temporary folder.

If any of the images are re-imported with the same file name, the new image data will overwrite the image in that temporary folder, but historical data that has already completed the second step of the bulk import process is left alone.

You can add a virtually infinite number of images with a single encounter using the Encounter.mediaAsset**X** field. For each photo you want to associate with a given encounter, create an Encounter.mediaAsset**X** column, where **X** is a variable you replace with a number starting with X=0.

To work around this, you can provide an email that is used system-wide for all submissions that don't have an email associated (e.g., if you have a photograph submitted by a tourist through an external site, you can reference an email associated with the site along with the tourist's name). This is also true for submitter**X**.affiliation and submitter**X**.fullName.
