FAQs
What is a CSV file?
- CSV is a file format that stands for "comma-separated values"; you can create a CSV file by saving an Excel workbook file as the CSV file format, by downloading a Google Sheet as a CSV format, or if you are performing an export out of your Inventory Management System, it may already get saved in that format.
Do I need to format or remove any data from my “Inventory Values” Report?
- No, the app will recognize the default format of the report, editing the formatting may cause issues with import.
How do I know if my import was successful?
- Within the App you will find the Import Logs, these will help you track the success of your imports.
