General Information

The CSV file must be UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoded (otherwise Umlaute and special characters will not be imported correctly).

Comma, semicolon or tabulator can be used as column separator (detection is done automatically by FYLR).

Texts containing commas, semicolons, tabs or breaks must be enclosed by double or single quotes (detection is done by FYLR automatically).

The CSV has to contain column headers. They can be freely chosen (mapping of source and target fields must then be done manually, see options).

If you use the internal FYLR field names as column headers in the CSV file, the mapping is done automatically (to get the internal FYLR field names it is best to download a record as CSV first and copy the column headers).

If possible always use a unique identifier, because only this identifier can be used to update existing datasets later on.

When importing quotes, please note the following:

TEXT TO BE IMPORTED	TEXT IN THE CSV FILE
"Plain text enclosed in quotes to be imported."	"""Plain text enclosed in quotes to be imported."""
Simple text that contains "quotation marks".	"Simple text that contains ""quotation marks""."
"Plain text in quotation marks, but which also contains "quotation marks"."	"""Plain text in quotation marks, but which also contains ""quotation marks""."""
"This is a quote." said Person Z.	"""This is a quote."" said Person Z."
Person Z said "This quote."	"Person Z said ""This quote."""
