How to import a CSV file

That was the quick tour! On the way, you have certainly seen that you can do much more there.

Using the import wizard

Using the Import Wizard (we named the pop-up this way for simplicity), you can set various options.

Set options for the data source

Data source settings

Help the Import Wizard by giving it details about the data you want to import.

If you want to import dates, specify the format of the dates to be imported, if possible so that they can be transferred correctly.

Import settings

Specify which data should be imported and what exactly should happen to it.

Click Next and the following pop-up appears:

Name table and assign fields

Naming the table

In the next step, name the table and assign fields.

If you import data into an existing table, matching field names are automatically assigned to each other.

After that, you will see a preview of the data to be imported. Click Import now. Done! 🎉
