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.
