Intern:Editorial/Import Entity Lists

Lists of campaigns, events, methods, parameters, references, staffs, and terms can be imported from tab-separated files.


 * Initiate the import from the "Import" Menu at the top.
 * Select a file to upload (click or drag'n'drop).
 * Your upload is instantly analyzed and the precheck result is presented for you to review.
 * The status column shows import problems for each row. Use the filter to only view errors in large lists. Depending on the error, a "plus" sign at he very left can be used to display information about related entities. (On "Entity already exists" cases, it shows the existing entity.)
 * Entity tags in the result can be clicked to request more information.
 * Use the preserve/update switch to allow the system to update existing entities. If it is on "preserve", it will not touch any existing entities, but only insert new ones. The status messages may change when turning the switch.
 * Click "Import" to write the new entries to the database.
 * Click "Receipt" to open the result table in a tabbed view for later review.
