Re: importing data

there are a couple of ways.
1) you can pull the Cvs into worksheet and add columns between the data
to add in the xml to make it an  entity import.
then export it as a tab delimited file.
use an editor that and search and replace tabs with spaces.
this is only good for static data like first initialization.

2)use the framework/datafile to read you Cvs in. it uses a map to put
the data in the entity fields. this is also good for static data like
adding new products.

2)Load the csv and save it as an xls file. Use the PIO to read the xls
file and you can then search of the product is new or already in and
create or update the product. This one requires coding.
You can add a flt that lets a user find the xls and load it that way, or
 add a service that runs as a job to read from a folder  say every midnight.
