Using Google Spreadsheet to import items

If you have a lot of items to enter on the app, you can batch import these items.
Here’s what you need to do :

1. Export CSV Data
   • This gives you a template that you can edit
   • Follow these steps to do the export:  http://support.mobilebizco.com/importing-exporting-data/export-csv-data.html
     
2. Locate your csv file
   • Sdcard – On android device, go to the folder /mobilebiz-co/shared/csv folder.
   • Dropbox – Login to your dropbox account and go to /mobilebiz-co/shared/csv folder.
3. Open your csv file using a textedit (ex. notepad)

Then,

4. Go to your Google Drive and create a new spreadsheet.

5. Update the name of the spreadsheet.

6. Go back to your texteditor and copy the whole content.
– Then paste it on the spreadsheet.
– You can now use this spreadsheet to modify your item fields. (ex. item price)

7. After making the changes on the spreadsheet, you need to save and download the file.
– Click on “File” > “Download as” > “Plain text”. This will create and download the file. (ex. item_list.tsv)
