Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Initiate the Import:

    • Click on the Import button within the table toolbar.

    • Select Import from CSV from the dropdown.

  1. Open Import Dialog:

    • A new import dialog will appear.

    • Click on the Choose File button and select your CSV file from your local storage.

  1. Preview CSV Data:

    • After selecting your file, you will be able to preview the first 10 rows of your CSV.

    • This provides an opportunity to ensure your data looks correct before importing.

  1. 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.

Note: You cannot import fields that are of type List or Object.

  1. Create Missing Columns:

    • If your CSV contains columns not present in your database table, ensure to create these columns within your table before importing.
  2. Complete the Import:

    • Once all columns are appropriately mapped, click on the Import CSV button to finalize the import process.

Important Considerations

  • Automatic vs. Manual Mapping: While Twidget automatically maps matching column headings, ensure to review each mapping for accuracy.

  • Field Restrictions: Remember, List and Object fields cannot be imported. All other fields should be correctly mapped.

  • Pre-import Preparation: Verify and create any columns that are not currently existing in your table to make sure data is not lost during the import.
