Import

Import of Data Records for a Variant Table When importing data records for a variant table, only new rows are added. It is not possible to reference existing records for updates. This must be kept in mind when using the function.


The template is a CSV file. The content of the file must be system-compliant, e.g.:

  • Attribute values must be correctly spelled and matched to the respective attribute values.
  • Pay attention to leading zeros in attribute values.
  • For multiple selections, a semicolon with a following space should be used.
  • The first row of the CSV file must contain the column headers. The order in the CSV file does not need to match the variant table structure.

By selecting the button with the primary mouse button, a new input field appears. In this field, a CSV file can be added with the following options:

  1. By drag and drop with the mouse.
  2. By selecting the CSV Upload button with the primary mouse button or double-clicking in the "CSV Drop Here" area, the file explorer will open. The user selects the appropriate template file and uploads it to the application.

As long as the red bar is displayed in the pop-up, the CSV file has not yet been uploaded and the import cannot take place. If the user has selected the wrong file, they can delete it using the white X in the red circle and then upload the correct file.


By clicking the "Import" button, the import process is started. If the variant table is empty, new records are created. If records already exist, the imported records are added underneath.


Optionally, the user can click "Next" before the import to review and possibly edit the uploaded data. The records to be imported are displayed in a list, with a trash can icon behind each record. Clicking the icon will remove the respective record from the import. The actual import happens when selecting the "Import" button, and the same process as with a direct import will be executed again.
