      Import and Update Care Instructions from Excel

      Import new Care Instruction data to the Admin section or update existing ones in a single Excel upload.

      Introduction & Best Practice

      The Care Instruction Import in the Admin section of Delogue allows you to update existing data and upload new care instruction information into Delogue. The import is completed using a single Excel file, allowing you to update all sub-tabs of the Care Instructions Admin part in one go.

       

      Table of Contents

      Before you start

      1) Navigate to Admin > Care Instructions > Import

      2) The following roles have to be assigned to you as a user: 'Company Admin', 'Care Instructions', 'Import/Export'

      3) If your company uses multiple languages - these have to be set up in Admin under General Settings > Languages before you attempt any kind of import or update


      NOTE: To minimize manual work, you can use the Care Instruction Import Template as a reference. You can copy and paste information, including language translations, directly from it when importing data into Delogue. Read more about it here.

       

      Import and Update Care Instructions from Excel

      When importing or updating care instructions in Delogue you have two options:

      • Click on 'Download template file' - an empty Excel template file is downloaded that can be filled out
      • Click on 'Download Excel file' - an Excel file containing the already existing care instruction information is downloaded and additional information can be added

      In addition to that Delogue provides a 'Care Instruction Import Template' from which you can copy and paste information to the Excel file you downloaded from your Delogue platform.
