Can I import my own stock list into GA2 / GA3

Back Print

GA2 / GA3 allows you to import and maintain the stock database using your own stock lists as long as they are in a common file format such as CSV

Although importing can take a little practice, once you have performed the first successful import, your settings are saved for the future.

If you wish to import your current stock list from a CSV (comma separated) file click on "Complete Stock List & Report’s" in the Admin area and choose the Import ( advanced ) button from the lower left.

 

Locate the CSV file you wish to use and click open.

You will be shown a screen similar to below, where you can match up the fields in our database with those of your data by dragging the target fields into position using the small up/down arrows.

Each field with the arrow showing will be imported.

 

We have allowed importing into the following field, you must match them up manually by dragging the items in the following window.
