Import data in bulk
Two routes, depending on scale.
Quick import into one list
Section titled “Quick import into one list”Use the Import button on the page itself - for example on Suppliers - and upload a file.
Larger or first-time imports
Section titled “Larger or first-time imports”Go to Configuration → Import Data. It has tabs for:
- Reference data - single record or Excel
- Map boundaries - GeoJSON / KML
- Production data
- An onboarding wizard for first-time setup
A Jobs Center tracks progress, which matters because a large import is not instant.
Do a small sample first
Section titled “Do a small sample first”Always. Import ten rows, open them in the dashboard, and check they landed the way you expected - especially short codes, the location hierarchy, and whether farmers were matched to existing people or created as duplicates.
Fixing ten bad rows is an afternoon. Fixing four thousand is a project.
If you’re unsure about the format
Section titled “If you’re unsure about the format”Ask your Orijin contact before uploading rather than after. Import formats are particular, and a malformed file that partially succeeds is the worst outcome.
