Import Custom Entities

It is possible to create and edit multiple Custom Entities at once via the import of an excel file. For this purpose, the excel file has to have a row for every entity, that should be created or edited, while the first row must hold the name of the columns or properties. The file can be uploaded by clicking Excel Interface > Import Custom Entities in the Custom Entities grid.

A file can then be selected or dragged and dropped into the browser. After uploading the file, you can select the column that provides the Name and the Custom Template, that should be used to create the entities. Optionally Directory Shortcuts can also be created.

In the appearing template, a column can be selected for every custom field, to apply the content. If the name of a column corresponds with the name of a field, it will be automatically assigned.

With Start Import the import of the objects can be started. In the appearing pop-up you can select if already existing entities with a name from the excel should be edited, skipped, or if the import should be canceled. Also, you can specify a separator if a field contains multiple values.
