  • To use the templates you must keep the columns in the same order and begin entry on the third row. Support documentation can be included in a file and does not interrupt the import process, as long as worksheet names do not have a defined template name.
  • If there are duplicate rows for the same item, the later row overrides the earlier row.
  • Blank cells are ignored on import.
  • Even though you receive an error message if you leave a row blank, all data in rows beneath the blank one will be imported.
  • The Import Categories template often requires that all columns be completed for items to add during import.
  • Do not change the order of the worksheets in the template.
