Import from CSV


CSV is a text file format which is really useful since many program allow to load and save such files (e.g. Microsoft Excel).

In these files each item is on one line, and all the fields of an item are separated by a character (usually comma or semicolon).

When you import such files, each row will be considered as one movie in the list. Then the row is separated in different fields. The program cannot know which movie information corresponds to which column in the CSV records. So you will have to "explain" it.

For that you will have to select the name of a field in the "Available fields names" drop-down list, and then click on the column title (header) corresponding to the selected value, as shown on the screenshots bellow:

step 1 step 2

Repeat these steps for each column that you want to keep.

If you do not associate a field name to a column header, this column will not be used when importing data.

If no "Number" column is specified, numbers will be created starting with highest movie number + 1.
