Screens and settings
Bulk Import Screen
The upload area, the source system name, the template buttons and the list of earlier imports on the bulk import screen.
The Catalogue → Bulk import screen is where you upload the import file, download the templates and follow earlier imports. The screen needs the bulk import permission. The Bulk import button on the Publications screen also opens this screen.
Upload area
The Upload and dry-run section has the Source system name field and the upload area.
- Source system name is stored as the origin of the records. It can contain letters, digits, full stops, underscores, colons and hyphens. Turkish-specific letters cannot be used. If it is left empty, the name "import" is used.
- The upload area accepts CSV, XLSX and JSON files. The upload starts as soon as you select the file, and the dry-run report opens.
- If the upload stops halfway because of a connection problem, the Try again button in the area sends the file again without asking you to select it. This button does not appear for a file over the size limit.
An upload only produces a dry-run report and creates no record.
Templates
The CSV, Excel (XLSX) and JSON buttons in the Templates section download a template with the column
names and two sample rows. The README sheet of the Excel template and the columns field of the JSON template describe
each column.
