In the event module of Communications Control, you have the possibility to integrate events via CSV import. This way, you can easily transfer already existing Excel lists with your events into the event module of Communications Control.
To do this, follow the steps in the instructions:
-
Click on the import icon in the list view of the Event module.
-
A modal opens. Here, select the event group to which the events should be assigned, the file language (English, German), the type of column delimiters (tabulator, comma, semicolon), and the time zone (set to UTC+1 by default).
-
Click on the attachment icon to select the CSV file with the events to be imported. Then, click the OK button (turns green once a file has been selected) to confirm the upload.
-
You will receive a notification about the import status. If this notification contains an error message, make sure that the data has been prepared correctly (see section below).
-
After successful upload, the events are available within the table view of events, including all details.
Preparation of Excel lists for successful import into the Event module
Note that Excel lists of events to be imported must conform to a pattern in order to be submitted correctly.
Technical requirements:
- Delimiter for cells/columns: semicolon, comma, tabulator
- Required fields: name, start
- Optional fields: end, description, color (hex code or word)
- A line at the top serves as a header, referencing all the relevant fields
Feel free to use our example as a template in order to import events to Communications Control:
