If you’re preparing to import spreadsheet data into Buildxact, it’s crucial to ensure that the formatting matches the platform's required template structure. Here’s what you need to know:
Template Compatibility Matters
Buildxact requires incoming spreadsheet data to follow a specific format to ensure seamless import and minimize errors. Misaligned formatting can lead to data mismatches or failed imports.
Using the Official Buildxact Template
To streamline your data import process, Buildxact provides an official template designed for compatibility. You can download this template directly from the Buildxact Help Guide. By doing so, you reduce the risk of formatting errors, as the template is pre-configured with the correct structure and field names. If your current spreadsheet significantly differs from the template, reformatting your data into the official template may be the simplest solution.
Formatting Your Own Spreadsheet
If you prefer not to use the official template, you can format your existing spreadsheet to match the required fields and structure outlined in the Buildxact template. As long as your spreadsheet adheres to these specifications, importing it into Buildxact is possible without transferring data into the template itself.
Common Import Tips
Always verify that the column headers in your spreadsheet match those required by Buildxact.
Check for any additional formatting requirements, such as data types or specific field lengths, outlined in the official template guidelines.
Back up your data before making modifications to avoid accidental data loss.
By either using the provided template or ensuring your custom spreadsheet aligns with the template’s structure, you can efficiently import data into Buildxact without running into compatibility issues.
