-To begin setting up a Revolving Inventory upload, select the box marked "Save this upload as Revolving Inventory?" This will cause the "Specify a label for this upload" text box to appear. In that box, enter a label for the Revolving Inventory session. The label you enter will be used in the filename of the source file created by the Revolving Inventory system. If the name you select is already in use, you will be prompted for another when you submit the form. Since the label is used directly in a created filename, it may consist only of Latin letters and numbers (a-z, 0-9), for security purposes.

+So if you set the name to "joesgmcdealership" that directory will be created on the server within following directory of your site:
+  /addons/bulk_uploader/uploads/revolving/
+and that directory name will be:
+  /addons/bulk_uploader/uploads/revolving/joesgmcdealership/
+So if there are no "structural changes" in the data or data file name submitted in the future you could give that specific client ftp access to that one directory to upload their own file to your site.  That way you would not need to do anything for that clients to update their own inventory.  Of course you can manually upload their file for them.  The choice is yours but the system allows for them to do it with the proper ftp rights.
