Importing new comic groups

IMPORTANT - Before you import

It's always a good idea to backup your Jumble Saler database first as imports can overwrite existing product information and mistakes in the import file could be very timeconsuming to fix afterwards.


Getting a template spreadsheet (.csv file) ready to import

If you are starting from scratch, then you much first create 1 or more comic groups on the groups screen.  We then suggest you add a comic manually and then export to a CSV file to open in Microsoft Excess or OpenOffice.  This will then show you the data you need to enter as a minimum and the format.

Use the 'Export' option to create a sample import spreadsheet in CSV format (CSV files are text files that can be read by spreadsheet programs and other applications).  You can add information on your comics in either Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice or another spreadsheet and then add your new comic products.


Importing

Use the Browse button select your import file and click on Import.

The first thing Jumble Saler will do is to check your import file for any potential problems and give you a list of any problems.  If no problems are found, then the system will import your file.  This will add new products and update existing ones.
