Import

You can import vocable lists from CSV files.
See also import/export format.
Please note that your file has to be UTF8 encoded.

After you have selected your CSV file it'll be scanned to detect whether it's a multi-list, a list with meta-data (list name, column names) or raw data (see import/export format). Then you can select what you want to do in certain cases. Please note that name and column names have to match for a list to be recognized as already existing.

The following options are available when importing, based on the type of CSV file you have:

• Raw Data (not using the special format, plain data):
  • Create a new list with your CSV data.
  • Append list data to an existing list.
• Multi-List:
  • Replace lists when already existing
    Existing lists will be replaced with the list entries from your CSV file.
  • Append to lists when already existing
    Merge existing lists with the list in your CSV file, additive (no deduplication).
  • Ignore existing lists completely
    All existing lists won't be changed, only new lists will be imported.
• Single-List:
  • Replace list when already existing.
  • Append data to list when it's already existing.
  • Create a new list, regardless whether it's already existing or not.
