Converting a spreadsheet to a CSV file for importing data to trap.NZ

This is a good option when you have a large number of records kept in spreadsheets that you would like to import to your trap.NZ project

The same process is used for traps, bait stations, and monitoring stations. But for this exercise, I have used traps

It is important to note that the required fields must be tagged correctly. 


1. On your project page select the import trap records option, this will display all the fields available in the import trap records  settings and ensure all of the required fields are completed on your spreadsheet
