Importing Errors
You may come across errors when importing files for a variety of different reasons. For example, if you upload a file with missing data, the boxes that are blank will show up as red and you can manually enter the correct data or pre-fill it, on the e-Reception Book dashboard (see image provided below).
Another example of an error you may come across is, if you download the sample CSV file that gives you the correct format, you won't be able to import the file with your data unless you have saved it and renamed it on your device.
API Importing
The e-Reception Book dashboard also offers API importing from both Office365 and Readr. API import allows you to bring data from one software into another, by connecting with the other platform. This type of import helps different programs communicate and share information more easily.
