Preparing import metadata (CSV file)

Introduction to CSV

  • CSV (Comma-separated Values) is a file format that uses special characters as a delimiter between values. • Each line of the file is a data record and each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas.
  • A CSV file typically stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain text, in which case each line will have the same number of fields.

CSV requirements for Purple

  • You must use a semicolon (;) as a delimiter. Please do not use any other delimiter
  • Only use UTF-8 when saving the CSV files
  • Refrain from using additional delimiters like commas, Tab etc.
