Importing or exporting records to and from spreadsheets is easier than ever and makes migration from other systems manageable.
Importing Items
To Import Items go to the Items View and then click the more button (“…”) and select Excel Import.
Select Import Items from the “…” dropdown menu
Step 1: Download Speadsheet Template & Upload File
A. Download a Spreadsheet template file:
- Existing Items (includes all existing items)
- New Items (blank)
B. Make modifications to the spreadsheet and upload the file.
Download/Upload file
Step 2: Match Spreadsheet Columns to the Database (optional)
By default the system will automatically recognize the names of the columns and match them to the database.
Click “yes”
If you did not see the “Spreadsheet Column Mapping Complete” dialogue that means you are missing columns or the column names could not automatically be matched by the system.
Item Name is Required
Not all fields must be matched to the database. However Item Name is a required field and if this column is not matched to the database it will not let you proceed.
Importing Additional Item Numbers
You can now Import Additional item Numbers by putting them in the Item Number Column delimited by a “|” (pipe) symbol
Match Required Columns/Fields
Step 3: Validate and Complete
Import Successful
If the import was successful you will see this:
Warnings
The system will also provide warnings when it has to make corrections.
This can happen if:
a. you don’t specify an item id when one should have been specified
b. you are updating an item that was previously deleted.
This just means the system had to take corrective action while importing. This should not affect the outcome of the import.
