Import and update from spreadsheets

Import items, contacts, crew, vehicles, spaces and projects from their own lists. Each importer provides its template and expected columns. For an initial catalog, prepare the equipment file once, match the columns to Filmo's fields and verify the rows before creating the records.

Import is for adding records; Update changes existing ones. To revise item prices for a new season, open the appropriate item update, export its current data and edit that file. Keep the identifier columns unchanged so Filmo knows which record each row belongs to.

Validation distinguishes errors, warnings and conflicts. Warnings can mean a value will be ignored or replaced, and rules differ by record type. Read the result and export the error list where offered. Check which rows were saved before retrying a file, rather than assuming the entire import was undone.

Use Import items from a spreadsheet for a new catalog. For a price review, follow Update items in bulk from a file: choose Bulk items or Serialized items, then Export current data. The general catalog export cannot be uploaded as an update.

Keep the NO MODIFICAR identifier columns and the expected headers intact. Use decimal points without currency symbols, and keep item-level prices consistent across all rows of that item. Empty cells behave differently between files, so review the chosen update's rules before clearing values.

Real product captures keep the language and theme of the recorded interface.
