Twidget enables seamless import of data from a CSV file into your database. Follow the steps below to successfully import a CSV file.
-
Initiate the Import:
Click on the Import button within the table toolbar.
Select Import from CSV from the dropdown.
Open Import Dialog:

This provides an opportunity to ensure your data looks correct before importing.
Map CSV Columns to Table Fields:
The dialog will automatically map CSV column headings to table fields if there is a match.
Any headings that do not match an existing table field need to be manually mapped by selecting the appropriate table field.
Headings not mapped or duplicated will be highlighted in red.

ListorObject.
