📎Import a .CSV file

Format your CSV file

  1. The maximum file size allowed is 5MB.
  2. CSV extensions only. If you have a spreadsheet format file, save it as a CSV before uploading.
  3. Semicolons and commas that are accepted separators. You can't mix them though.
  4. Make sure the Custom Metadata Field Type in Aware matches the data format of your CSV. For example, if you have an EmployeeID Number Field, you won't be able to upload your file if one of your entries has a letter in their EmployeeID If this is the case, recreate the Metadata field with the correct type, then proceed with the import.
