Import

Records can be entered in the platform from a CSV file, but first several factors must be kept in mind.

• Select Language: Languages of the records to be stored.

• Select schema: Schema of records to be stored. (See 3.8.1.2 METADATA SCHEMAS)

• Select file CSV: CSV file (See factors to consider).

• Normalize files: Normalize files to a common language.

Files Normalization

Note: In this example the pdf file is changed to ptif depending on the number of pages contained in the file. This is defined in the configuration file in the Normalizer section.

Factors to consider:

• Multi Value separator “[|]”

• The column with metadata type “YEAR” must have a “yyyy” format.

• Field $id: The record’s ID in the database. If the record will be updated, this field is REQUIRED

• Field $title: The record’s title. If creating a new record, this field is REQUIRED

• Field $object_type_id: The record type ID as defined in the database. If creating a new record, this field is REQUIRED.

• Only allows CSV files compliant with "RFC 4180 standard".

• Examples to download:

  • import_demo.csv

  • update_demo.csv

Note: When updating records with the import, metadata that is empty or not added will be deleted
