Importing Content

Importing Content

Browse for your CSV file containing the content to be imported.

Select from the drop down the type of content this list is to be added to.

Click the Import button.

The file will be uploaded and saved to a temporary location and then broken down into its content parts.

Identifying columns for importing

Based on the Dr Adept export feature, and if available the top header row, the columns of information are displayed ready for import.

First Select if the First Row is to be ignored if it contains field names.

Check the columns
Check that each column is going to be imported into the correct field, if the are any inconsistencies or problems then you should cancel the process and start again.

Each field has a drop down menu showing the type of field available it should be imported into.

Ignoring some columns
You can ignore some columns by selecting '- ignore -' form the drop down menu for that field.

Members Only
If you are importing content that is for members viewing only ensure you tick the option before importing the content.

Create Content
One you have checked and are satisfied with the content being placed correctly click the 'Create Content' button.

Update Content
If content being imported has an ID number field then items will be updated based on that ID number - use with caution as this overwrites the current content with the new imported content and there is no reversing this.

Details of the import will be displayed to let you know if all went well or if there were errors.
