Import article data

For bulk updates of article data, or if you prefer to work via file import instead of the interface, go to the File management tab under Upload file.

Upload files

Here you can upload different types of files:

  • Predefined Excel template for article information

  • Your own Excel file, where you map which information should be imported to which fields

  • Import template for Media (to be launched later this year)

Uploading a file

  1. Click Upload files and select the file you want to import, or drag and drop the file directly into the upload area.

Type, method and mapping

Once the file has been uploaded, you need to specify the import type and import method, and map the fields in the Excel file.

Import type

  • Currently, only Article information is available.

  • More import types, such as Media, will be added in the future.

Import method

When importing data, you can choose between three different import methods, depending on how much existing information in the system should be affected. Each option handles new and existing data differently, so choose the one that best suits your needs.

  1. Complementary
    Only adds information to empty fields. Existing values remain unchanged.

  2. Complement and overwrite
    Fills in empty fields and replaces existing information where the file contains data.

  3. Classic import
    Overwrites all information according to the file content and mapping. This is the most extensive import and should be used with caution.

Field mapping

When the import type and import method have been selected, you need to map the file’s columns to the corresponding fields in Finfo One. This ensures that the correct information ends up in the correct place.

Start import

When you have selected the import type and import method and mapped all fields, you need to confirm that you have reviewed the information and that everything is correct. You do this by checking the checkbox at the bottom of the view.

You can then start the import process by clicking Start import. The system will process the file according to your selected settings and display a summary of the result when the import is completed.
