Importing custom data

How to import custom data into Alloy​

If you need to create many items of a particular design, one way is to store the attribute data in a CSV file and import it into Alloy. This is particularly handy for large datasets that require you to create hundreds or even thousands of items! 😱

There are six stages in this procedure:

  1. Formatting a CSV for import - make sure the data in your CSV file is presented correctly.

  2. Upload files - upload your CSV file(s) to Alloy.

  3. Creating an import - create an import item and specify the CSV file(s) to be imported.

  4. Configuring an import - map the column headers of the import data to the relevant attributes of your chosen design.

  5. Validate the import - make sure your configuration is valid.

  6. Commit the import - commit the validated import data to Alloy.
