CSV Import / Export

General CSV Import / Export

Ticking the "Replace Data" checkbox will delete all existing records before importing.

Any spreadsheets being uploaded must be exported to CSV format; The process for this will differ depending on your spreadsheet editor.

The first row of an imported CSV should contain the names of the fields being imported, each row after should contain the data for a single imported record e.g:

First Name	Surname	Email
Alice	Alison	alice.alison@example.com
Bob	Bobson	bob.bobson@example.com
Charles	Charleson	charles.charleson@example.com

The importer will fail to import any column that has spaces before or after the field name in the first row.
