Structured Data Import allows you to easily import bulk data into Orbit using CSV, Excel (XLSX), or XLS files. This feature helps you efficiently create multiple Shipments in a single operation.
Start by clicking the import button in TransportComposer. The import button is only visible, if the used TransportShape supports structured data imports.
You can upload:
CSV files
Excel files (.xlsx & .xls)
Structured Data Import button as displayed in TransportComposer
Make necessary corrections directly in the interface
Confirm and complete the import
In Orbit MissionControl, the history of each Shipment and Order the import creates or changes names the operator who uploaded the file, for example Created via CSV Import by Julia Weber. If an import brings in faulty data, you can see which colleague to follow up with. Older imports that did not record who uploaded them show CSV Import instead of a name.
An Example Shipment Import can be configured via the Workbench Settings for the TransportComposer using the “Basic Shipment” Transport Shape. Use the example CSV file for testing the import functionality.
