Mapping your item data to fields in Checkfront

Back to top

On the next screen, you see an empty table with the Checkfront data fields as the column headers (A). In the sidebar on the left, you see a list of the same fields, each with a dropdown box next to it (B).

These dropdown boxes contain a list of the field names you used to create the column headers in your spreadsheet.

It's now a simple case of reviewing the list of fields and selecting the matching one from your spreadsheet (C).
