Import and export
Use the import and export functions to share information with other systems. This can be used if you have prepared your information using another system or program and you want to use this in the Web site; see
Import file. Conversely, you may want to use the information on the Web site in another system; see
Export.
CSV files are used for import and export.
A CSV file is a simple text file containing a list of individual values separated by a specific delimiter. Each object takes up one line in the file. For more on CSV files, see also Editing CSV files with Microsoft Excel. Use of an export file as a template for the import file ensures that you correctly spell field names and field and column names.
The details for import and export for specific object types is explained in the respective chapters.
Note:
Before importing a file with a large number of records, we recommend that you test the import process with a file of just one or a few records.
