Importing a text file

If you have an existing list of books in text (.txt) or comma separated values (.csv) format, you can import it using the “Import from Text / CSV File” feature in CLZ Books Web.

If you have a different kind of program for your book collection right now, see if you can export to CSV or a TXT file from it.

*It is important that you match your text file to the fields we have. You do this in step 5 where you select the fields to import.

Import from Text / CSV file

1. Click the menu icon top left and click “Import Data” to enter the import screen.
2. Click “Import from Text / CSV File”.
3. Upload your Text / CSV file.
4. Change the data format settings so it looks correct under the preview.
5. Under “Select your Column fields” pick the fields to match your fields! Note that you can also skip fields.
6. Click “Import books” to run the import.

Import problems?

If you’re having troubles with this, make sure you re-check step 5 to make sure all columns you’re importing match a field that we provide.

If you can not match a field to one we have, you can decide to add that column of information to the notes of each book or just skip that column altogether.
