Import files (with examples)

If you have decided to upload certain information instead of creating it manually, a CSV file (comma-separated value) as an input source is required. This article gives a brief account of how to convert data from MS Excel workbook format to .csv extension. All import files must be generated in .csv format.

Before uploading any file, make sure your file is in the required .csv format! If you are using Excel to create the CSV file, you will have to save the file as CSV:

Your file is now ready for importing.
