The Import Process
1. Locate, on your computer or network, the CSV file containing your data to be
imported using the BROWSE button.
2. Once the file has been located, click PREVIEW data to view the contents of the
file.
3. If the first row of the data contains the column header, tick "first row contains
column headers".
4. From the DATA SOURCE FIELDS list box, click on a field name to select it. Click
on the equivalent field in the FEED FIELDS list box. Press the orange "LINK" button
to map the data source field to the feed field. The purpose of this step is to tell
the import process which column of data in the CSV file is to be imported into which
feed item field.
5. Once all necessary fields have been mapped, click IMPORT DATA.
