How do I upload my CSV file? (Step 1) - New Import

(Apricot Administrators)

This is the first of four steps to import records from a CSV file into an Apricot form.

Before you start, check that:

  • Your file is saved as .csv (not .xlsx).
  • Your file has 50,000 rows or fewer (not counting the header row).
  • You are logged in as an Apricot Administrator.

 

Step 1 

In Apricot, select the Administrator tab.

 

Step 2

In the left navigation, expand Record Manager and select Imports.

 

Step 3

Select + New Import.

 

Stepp 4

Drag and drop your CSV file into the upload area, or click inside the area to browse for your file.

 

Step 5

Apricot reads your file and shows a preview: the filename, row count, column count, a tag for each column header, and the first 5 rows of data.

 

Step 6

Check that the column headers and sample rows look correct. If something is wrong, select Remove, fix your file, and upload it again.

 

Step 7

Select Next.
