To collect your data, you can use any tool that you want, provided that it can be converted into an Excel or csv file for the import. You can freely select the order of the data assigned into the columns but this is later mapped in Smart Materials before you start the import to ensure that they are stored in the correct manner. You can fill all columns of all rows completely or you can leave columns free, but you should account for it later when you map the columns in Smart Materials.

After you have gathered all the data, save the Excel sheet in the *.csv format. If you have already loaded the data into a CSV file, then just click save as Excel stores the data with semicolon separated columns.

You can use any character as a column separator, but if a character defined as a column separator occurs within a string, an error arises while importing the CSV file.
