Production answer · import csv
What columns can the object importer accept?
The strict importer accepts a bounded set of fields for display number, title, identity, material, body, credit, case, mode, rights basis, template, tags, and internal notes. It supports UTF-8, UTF-16, CSV, TSV, semicolon, and pipe delimiters.
Why this matters
The import is atomic: unknown columns, malformed rows, duplicate imported titles, duplicate display numbers, invalid modes, and invalid rights values reject the whole selection.
A reviewable sequence
- Export or copy only the columns needed for label production.
- Remove sensitive columns before import.
- Choose merge by normalized title or a complete replace deliberately.
- Inspect preflight and edition drift after import.
