Import

There is a possibility to do automated data import, MediaBase can read items and its properties from text file.

An example of a CSV file:

Open Your Heart;Madonna;1987
This Used To Be My Playground;Madonna;1992
Who's That Girl;Madonna;1987

"I'll Remember (Theme From ""With Honors"")";Madonna;1994
The Power Of Goodbye;Madonna;1998
Music [Album Version];Madonna;2000

Next, you should assign fields of file to the fields of folder. Click on field name, select the suitable property, then use the "Assign" button to map the fields.

Enter "Tab" to use Tab character as field separator.



See import log to view and to delete imported items. Each import process has an identifier, which also identifies the items created during that process. Items that were processed at the same time have the same identifier, and you can handle them together.

Import log” shows the batch process list, which contains batch identifier, name of user, count of processed items, start/end time and duration of process, file name and comment.

If error occurs, see Log folder for files named batch_*.txt . These files contain error messages and additional information. (replace "*" with the batch identifier)
