Imported data file must be in text-file, using the CSV format (Coma Separated Value), and the accompanying .cvs file extension. We recommend using a semicolon ";" as a separator.
You can create such a file using any text editor (we recommend Notepad++), but we do advise you to use a spreadsheet program, such as the commercial Microsoft Excel or the free software OpenOffice.org Calc. Using a spreadsheet program enables you to have an easier and more visual grasp of your data, in comparison to the plain text file.
Here is a sample import file, for a list of products:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
