Bulk Import rows

PreviousInsert rowsNextDelete rows

Last updated 1 month ago

It can be a tedious process to manually insert or update several rows. In such cases, you can bulk import the data directly from an external file.

PowerTable allows you to insert and update multiple rows at once by importing CSV or Excel files. The rows are updated based on matching primary keys from the file.

  1. To import new rows, click Import on the toolbar that opens the 'Import from file' pop-up.

  2. Click on the space to upload an Excel or a CSV file.

  3. Select the required file from the systems folder and click Upload.

  4. You can view the uploaded data.

  • Records with existing primary keys are updated.

  • Records with new primary keys are inserted as new rows.

  • Mismatches are flagged as errors that can be resolved by clicking on logs.

  1. Ensure the XLSX/CSV file that you import contains the necessary primary key fields and other mandatory fields configured in the 'Columns' section.

  2. The maximum number of new rows that can be inserted at once is 20000.
