Use Risk Bulk Upload to add many risks to your project at once from a CSV file, instead of creating them one by one. You can upload dozens or hundreds of risks in seconds, which suits setting up new projects with standard risks or keeping your construction portfolio consistent.
Open Bulk Upload
- From your project, click Risk in the left navigation bar to open your risk register.
- Click into your browser's address bar. The https://help.mastt.com/knowledge/kb-tickets/new should look similar to `.../projects/63fea50a6ed85e001a5d0d39/risks`.
- Add `?upload=true` to the end of the https://help.mastt.com/knowledge/kb-tickets/new so it looks like `.../projects/63fea50a6ed85e001a5d0d39/risks?upload=true`.
- Press Enter to reload the page.
The bulk upload interface now appears with additional options.

Review and import
Warning: Nuke Risk Then Add permanently deletes all current risks before importing. Download your current risk register as a backup first if there's anything you want to preserve.
- Review the risk list preview before importing. Check that:
- All risks are present (count matches your CSV).
- Risk descriptions are correct.
- No data is missing or corrupted.
- Field values make sense (likelihood, impact, etc.).
- Choose your import option.
- Click your chosen import option to complete the upload. Mastt displays a confirmation message showing how many risks were successfully imported.
- Scroll through your risk register to verify all risks imported correctly with complete details.
| Import option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Add | Adds these risks alongside any existing risks in the module. Use this when you want to keep existing risks and supplement them with new ones. |
| Nuke Risk Then Add | Deletes ALL existing risks permanently, then imports the new risks. Use this when you want to completely replace your risk register. |
Troubleshooting and FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What if my CSV file won't upload or shows errors? | Always use Mastt's downloaded template rather than creating your own file. Ensure you've saved the file in .csv format (not Excel .xlsx). |
| What if I accidentally chose "Nuke Risk Then Add" and lost my risks? | Contact Mastt Support for assistance. |
