Data Service Release Notes
Bulk addition of records
Spare yourself from manual entity data entry: Instantly add records using the Import data feature.
Just create a CSV file mirroring the target entity structure, ensuring columns match field names and data types. Import the file to witness your entity grow.
For import success and failure outcomes, check our documentation.
When saving CSV files in UTF-8 format using Microsoft Excel, be aware that the default CSV UTF-8 format includes a Byte Order Mark (BOM), which causes importing failures due to lack of support.
To avoid this, consider using alternative methods to save CSV files without the BOM:
-
Open your CSV UTF-8 Microsoft Excel file in a text editor (for example, Notepad).
-
Go to File > Save as. At the bottom of the Save as window, notice that the UTF-8 with BOM option is selected in the Encoding dropdown. This is what we need to change.
-
Click on the Encoding dropdown and select UTF-8.
-
Save your file and retry importing your data.
-
Voila!
